Catapiller Pin
The last person I met wearing this pin was an airman who lived in Halifax. He was shot down outside of Paris and subsequently captured and turned over to the SS by a collaborator. He was eventually sent to Buchenwald Concentration Camp and was amoung those 160 odd airmen who languished in the camp unitil being transfered to a Luftstalag. The gentleman has sinced passed away but not before giving me a chilling account. His poor wife suffered daily as he was in the stage of Alzheimers were he was reliving his wartime past.....
