An instant collection!
Lance-Corporal J. Ware of the RASC shows his collection of newly acquired Nazi medals to his mate, Driver R. Rose.
L/C Ware found the medals whilst exploring the ruins of the Reichskanzlei in Berlin, June 1945.
The medal he is showing Driver Rose is the "Mutterehrenkreuz" which was awarded to mothers who had demonstrated exemplary motherhood and had produced four or more aryan children for the Reich.
No doubt such medals would be highly collectable and quite valuable today.
