WWII collector

Interesting thing to follow! This guy have an amazing collection of WWII items related of the Wehrmacht, here's his description.

"I have been a WWII collector for over 20 years. My collection centers around the field equipment, weapons, ordnance and other types of memorabilia relating to the German Wehrmacht. I put this site together in an effort to let other collectors and historians see my collection. So many private collections never see the light of day. I hope you enjoy this site and if you have any questions please feel free to contact me."
