Small Luxuries
 A Wehrmacht issued cigarette rolling machine with an American patent. Nicotine fits in the field apparently knew no borders. These handy little devices, this one show in its original box, were issued in large numbers to German soldiers on all fronts.

Re: Small Luxuries
My dad was sent this small, very portable Checker set....He had it with him for most of the war. The box is about 8x8x1 and a half inches All the pieces are complete. As you can see, it was mailed to him from his mom.

Re: Small Luxuries
Adn the final pic showing the piece drawers, which could be left open to balance the Checkerboard. The last pic is a piece off of a German uniform he traded a POW for. I think it is the Swastika from the bottom of a Breast Eagle???
