Product Details

Original Items: One-of-a-kind. This is a genuine USGI bring back from the European theater of WWII, specifically the Battle of France. This is a very nice set of German Holzschuhen (Wooden Shoes or Clogs), which are painted a lovely blue color, with a white interior.  They were acquired as a souvenir during the war, and personalized on the interiors.

The right clog reads BATTLE FOR FRANCE 1944, around the "Indianhead" Insignia of the U.S. Army 2nd Infantry division. The left clog is marked Somewhere IN GERMANY 1944. The painting is quite well executed, and looks like the two shoes may have been personalized at different times. The clogs used in France, Belgium, and Germany are roughly identical, so these may have been picked up along the way. The 2nd Division entered Germany 3 October 1944, so the dates on these are correct for the division.

Overall a fantastic memento from the European theater of WWII. Ready to display!
