One personal photo was found in this batch, showing a US Soldier with Red Army Soldiers somewhere in Germany 1945. Then there is a series of photos with Paris France 1944. Then a set of photos that were produced to sell to soldiers directly after the war ended, Field-Marshal Wilhelm Keitel signing the unconditional surrender document, 8 May 1945, Berlin Karlshorst.

This is an interesting little tin of memories, it include fine made silver items. As well as a wonderful pictorial history of the Father and Son during both WWI / WWII. This is an interesting find with the Medals and matching Mini set. Seems the son was in Europe at their Uncles grave in France November 1944. Sadly there is not much in terms of research but its clear both Father and Son served. Nice set as its unusual.
