Holocaust

Was truly horrific, when the man was told that he would not see his mother again for roughly a week. even the thought of this makes my feel pain and great sadness. when he is told that he will see her again but only for twenty minutes, was like to me the saddest thing i've heared and especially after he was told to leave and would never see his mother again would kill me from the inside if I were in his position. in the second video the reality of false hope believing in some one to help you and your nation rise again to turn on you and instead kill you and degrade you, was Trula appalling to me.

Airborne division

the Item I choose from Ebay was an old world war 2 helmet from the U.S airborne divisions possibly from the 101st airborne division or easy company. it is a modified version of the standard infantry helmet it includes camoflauge instead of the standard olive Drab. in the course of the war these helmets would be used in airborne operations and head protection from ballistices. these helmets were used in all known airdrops. during an operation Paratroopers were deployed in mass and droped from C-47 sky train's. the helmets provided protection from falling debris such as flack shrapnal from the small plumes of little black clouds allowing the paratroopers to land safely and contine on to their objectives.
