Todd, I can e-mail your uncle the documents and they will look a little better. One racer saw this and ask me if it came off of a website that he might go to. This is an original document that is in this scrapbook. I scanned it and photobucketed it. My mom was a REAL scrapbook person. She was a secretary all of her life and I believe worked as a civillion in a gov. office in WWII. When the wire came over she snaged it up after it was read. The news was the story, not the paper it came on, but it got in our scrapbook.

I have tons of coin and paper $ from countries that aren't even countries any more. With notes under each as to the value. Notes such as under the Luxemburg francs, showing that in 1943 they were minted in America.
Under the German Mark, she writes.....WORTHLESS. lol ( written in 1945 ).

My dad like most never talked about the war. I was too young and busy chasing girls and hotrodding to ask. But my mom told me much after he passed away, and the scrapbooks are unbelievable. The only thing I ever heard him say was one time he said there was absolutley no reason he should have lived thru it.
Thats how they all were though isn't it.
