Gott Strafe England

[joerookery]

I love this postcard on a lot of levels. Not only does it prominently display that familiar slogan but it also shows a group of Landsturm with metal crosses on their helmet covers. These seem to be the large 50 mm type. The back does not detail either the time nor the unit.

I like their dog standing at attention too Joe, great photo...

Three extraordinarily fine photos Joe. The first, with the plethora of little metallic crosses takes the cake for me.

Here's a couple of "Gott Strafe England" Patriotic Pins that I have in my collection. The enamel/cloisonne coloring is much better in person than what the scanned image shows. They are both marked with the ?"ges. gesch." on the backside.
