I recently visited an old friend in Europe who has a pretty extensive collection of artifacts in his small home. He began collecting them as a child during the war, befriending soldiers on both sides and benefitting from their generosity.

He also made arrangements for me to visit a farmer friend of his who collects many larger items that he keeps in a barn and in his “back yard”, who graciously allowed me to take photos of some of the displays. I’ve attached a few.
