Do any of you guys collect ww2 militaria? If so do you collect stuff from a certain aspect of the war or a certain country, maybe certain medals. Just curious, i started collecting luftwaffe stuff a couple years ago. I have a ton of books, some cost more than i hate to admit and i have a few iron crosses with the documentation and envelopes to go with. I dont have any pics of my collection as a divorce has hindered that for the most part but i started because i read a higher call, and from there i started researching and found the German stuff very intriguing and the value goes up and up and some day my daughter could sell it off or add to it when im not here anymore. Kinda my story on what i collect and why, be interesting to know if any of yall collect any militaria

My book collection of WW2 seen from Axis side is quite large. Never counted how many, but 3-digit amount anyway.

A necessary addition to any WWII library would be “We at Porsche”.
Lots of tank related content.

All I have left of my grand collection shootin’ irons now is a Tula TT-33 and Scoped K43.
