I hope whoever is selling this uses the profits to go back to grammar school. Definitely a cool find, but would never order anything from somebody that does such a poor job describing what they’re selling.
Spelling aside, I wonder about the provenance of the item. How do we know it was used on the Southern Russian front in 1942, who had possession after the war etc. Interesting piece of history though.
