Yeah, I've seen authentic ones, as well. I would NOT want one of those. To me, collectors of that stuff isn't necessarily collecting it in honor of the dead. I think they like it for more morbid reasons.
I figured a replica one would be chilling as well, but not in the same morbid sort of...
...where I could get a replica Concentration Camp uniform?
I am a history teacher and am looking for a replica to display in my class as remembrance of the horrid atrocities.
I have come across considerable difficulty in finding anything...can anyone throw me a lead?
Thanks in advance...
They are on display there, but are moved every Apr 18, depending on wherever the reunion is in the country. However, it was obviously easy this year as they merely had to move them across the museum to the dinner area.
No problem! You should post pics of your collection....I'd love to see it!
More pics
I was there as well, and I actually was able to attend the small-attended official dinner with the Raiders the first night of the weekend.
Here are some more pics!

As a memorabilia collector, I've always been looking for one of these paperweights made from the original ballast from inside the U505.
And off to the air gallery!
Got to love the MKI Spitfire. This was an actual BoB-used machine. It gives me chills. I stared at this baby for about...
A replica kitchen (no flash photography allowed inside)
Enigma machines - as I've learned from Hollywood, Amercians captured these babies waaaay before the Polish and British did.....JUST KIDDING! Drop your weapons!
This is a photo of the real Captain's quarters....
The U505...
Last weekend I visited the U-505 in Chicago finally. It's been there all my life and I never took the time to appreciate her and tour her inner belly. While I was not permitted to take flash photography inside the sub, some of the outside pics didn't run out too poorly.
Here are the pics I...
Two weekends ago, I attended the "Gathering of the Fortresses" at Thunder Over Michigan - which was the largest gathering of B-17's in the U.S. (at least that's what they advertised...) I've been meaning to post these pics, but have been busy. I took video as well, but am too lazy to upload...
I saw this story, too.
My interest flew out the window (like a flying saucer) when I read that the allegation came from the grandson of a man who once worked as a bodyguard for Churchill.
Too far a stretch for a good source, in my opinion.....
Absolutely, Smithy. I agree...I think people get caught up with thinking that Hollywood needs to insert a love story in the Titanic/Pearl Harbor to make history interesting. History - by itself - when told with accuracy - at least in my opinion - is way more thrilling than any screenwriter can...
