Captured and placed in 1V MUHLBERG concentration camp. Once liberated by Russians veteran went into Muhlberg town and liberated several items. Will be posting other items soon. Thanks for looking and Happy Bidding!!! The rest of the story is Mr. Ward went into Mulberg in search of food. They had seen the mayor of that town from time to time. He saw the mayors body strung up in front of a house. He entered the house searching for food and a gun. While going through a big dresser Mr. Ward noticed that it had a false bottom. When he broke into it it was full of money and this youth dagger. He was overjoyed. He took the knife and collected the money. Weeks later he took just a little of the money to and exchanged a only then did he discover he wasn't so lucky . The money was worthless. |
