A collection of history, pictures and documents of the

Signed swastika from a German hanging banner "captured" by Malcolm Jones of the 558th.

The center swastika of the banner was removed after returning home by Malcom's wife so she could use the rest of the banner's red cloth to make dresses.
(swastika is now in the possession of Mike Toplisek)
