That reminds me: When I was in (1986) our barracks had to be done up. They were just to old and partially in danger of collapse. In one of the attics there really was a package of Wehrmacht sporting tank tops (those with the chest eagle), in the original cardboard boxes.
I don't know, what happened to them, but we really had to laugh. Who had ever looked for the items in the attic?
Okay, OT off, keep them coming, excellent info on GI-lingua
