Default In an Attic...

Stuff is still out there... In the print article there were a couple more badges pictured. That was a nice accumulation of stuff he brought back. The professor is a bit of a case. He is reading way too much into the accumulation. Most vets I talked to just shovelled stuff into a kit bag, they didn't go selectively shopping. Except maybe for the Luger or P38. Badges and medals were not seen to be anything all that special.

As a former History student, I can say that, that is the kind of rubbish you're made to postulate (you have to make some amazing revelation from some innane bit of information, especially true in postmodernistic studies, such as the rubbish devised about the "Balinese cockfight"....), but as you say rarely was it, ooooh, my latent fascism says I'll choose this, or hmmmm, I think this hat tells a significant part of my story, more likely it was found on a table in a deserted house somewhere and it got just stuck in his pocket. I bet if we knew what stuff was worth we'd all be heading for the bunker and filling sacks with stuff....
