Dutch WWII City of Maastricht Liberation Plate, Vet Bringback
(4 photos)
$65.00
|
 Original era manufacture. We recently purchased a small grouping of WWII German souvenirs sent home from Europe by a soldier who served as a US 3rd Army Jeep driver. The lucky recipient was his younger brother who cherished them and stored them away for many years before selling them to us. In this instance the tale is slightly different, in that the soldier brought this home to his Mother instead of his little brother. A 9 inch porcelain wall plate decorated in full color. Masstricht was the first city in Holland liberated during WWII. No damage.
