    Hey guys, so, I made a post introducing myself a while back.
    I told you guys that I'm fifteen, which is why I don't have any weapons and combat relics from WW2....yet... ;)
    Anyway, I also said that I'm from Germany...
    My Grandmother still had a mug that she kept from WW2, and she let me have it.
    I decided to post pictures for everyone to have a look at.

    Alles Gute!

    Congratulations on your first collector piece of WW2. Did you get the story to go along with the cup?
    And if I haven't said it, welcome to the Forum.

    I actually didn't get the story, I should ask her next time I go.
    My grandfather and both his brothers were in the war,
    one of them went missing and the other was KIA.
    (The missing one was probably captured and maybe killed)
    My grandfather himself was in the Afrika Korps, and was captured by the British. He said they treated him nicely/fair. I think the cup probably somehow came from one of his brothers. I'll ask when I have the chance, though. :)

    That would be good to see, I do like these luft marked items.
    A good item, thanks for showing it.
