ROBERT ALBRO WWII COLLECTION: An unusual collector opportunity to own and learn the background of original G.I. acquired Third Reich military relics. (Please See LOTS 338 - 367 for entire Albro collection). All of the following items were sent home by Tec.5 Robert W. Albro, a member of Headquarters Battery 9th Field Artillery Battalion, 3rd Division, who took part in the campaigns in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, Anzio, France and Germany. Being an orderly and a typist, many of his souvenirs were described in letters which he sent home. Fortunately, many of the original letters with envelopes are included with items that mention their acquisition.

S-29 Woman's RAD (Labor Corps unit pennant). Black printed swastika over barley stalks on a 23 1/2" diameter white disc - on a red triangular field. White sleeve with rope loops. 50" x 96". Very good condition. With a Xerox copy of the "Nurnberg battles 19-20 April 1945" letter which Albro sent to his parents. In addition to the story of the Nurnberg stadium flag, Albro mentions that the caretaker's "wife went into a back room and came out with a smaller Nazi flag, that was triangular to a point with a large swastika and some emblem. She said that it was left at the stadium by some unit and she had taken it while cleaning the area." Also with a wartime photo of Albro. II
