Ya want patches?

I've got patches!

Most of these were purchased in surplus stores (Sunny's Surplus) back in the 60s. Other collectors I've shown these to agree that these appear to be from WWII or the period just after the war. I'll post the 20th AF patch to show the difference from modern reproductions.

I haven't done anything with my patches in quite a while so I found that I did not remember what a few of them were. Please offer any info or corrections.

First batch

Last batch.

The last two scans are booklets - language guides published during the war years and (I understand) used for some time after the war.

First one in reply #2 is a contemporary political statement, not a legit WWII poster. "Ministry of Homeland Security" is the giveaway.

The fact that it has been recuperated as a modern political statement does not necessarily mean it wasn't genuine World War II artwork... but since there is strong doubt about it, I prefered to follow your lead and remove it altogether. Thanks.

Two german ones, the first an instigation to blackout lights during air raids and the second
one, an instigation to safe energy (then in the form of coal), explained with the character
of the "Kohlenklau" (somebody nicking coal)
(Both placards from "Anschläge - Deutsche Politik an der Litfaßsäüle", F.Arnold)
