PS - They cant tell Luftwaffe uniforms from Army !

Dave,, There was a German ring , 'We Sail Against England'... Originally a prototype and advertised as a line drawing.. There were so many preorders/requests for the ring it was produced , sold as well as other patterns.. I heard it was bad news after the English won the battle of Britain , Operation Sea Lion failure to wear the ring they quickly 'went away'!
Early during the planning even the SS was planning on getting in and a SS badge with the same phrase advertised and only went as far as the line drawing [no prototype made]..

Luft.?, Heer?, KM?,,,now in the news they sadly don't go in to details like what was what and who was where.. Luft eagle., Army eagle? sadly the people reading it just don't care.. Great piece and good to see new photos........
