Man Discovers The Surprising Truth About His Dead WW2 Vet Friend

Mizuka Ishiwatari Published 05/21/2015 in wow

He never told stories, said he didn't remember any. He said he didn't bring anything home. He died a month ago and left his young friend this.

1.
A man got a call this week that his friend left him something after he passed away, and his older son gave him this bag.
2.
When he was still alive and the young man asked him if he'd brought anything home, he pursed his lips and sort of shook his head.
3.
Whenever he'd ask him for any stories of the war, he'd say that he was at D-Day, and that he was a radioman for the artillery, but that everything else was a blur.
4.
Hold on, what's this?
5.
A pistol. Not loaded.
6.
Also a camo helmet.
7.
So he did have some memorabilia left.
8.
Hold on, what's THIS? A Nazi first aid book?
9.
Some photos inside.
10.
Wow, it's in German.
11.
A nice bayonet.
12.
Great condition.
13.
Binoculars not so much, but still look amazing.
14.
A small packet.
15.
English money?
16.
1940.
17.
Nazi coins.
18.
This bag. Is that the Nazi emblem?
19.
1934? Who's bag is it?
20.
An American flag.
21.
Why is it covered in blood? Who's blood is it?
22.
Is it possible, the Nazi soldier on the photo was... the WW2 veteran? Was this stuff his? Is this why he didn't have any war stories to share?
