Oh i sure did...if you like dressing 1940's style you need to go to the GAP next year...you can walk around all week long in 40's cloths. its like you steped back in time...no modern day stuff at all!

The coat is just a normal, mens , winter coat. But it looked good! and the shoes I got at walmart...they have some very nice 40's style shoes there.

That pic was taken as I was going to my dates barracks to get him for the dance...this random guy walked out and stoped me and said "I have been taking pictures of dirty guys all week, let me take a picture of a beautiful girl!" how could I say no , that was not the only person who did that either! shocking to me!

You could completely pull off as a jew in Germany during the war. All you would need is the star of david armband

Even in that photo, without the army jeep
