WW II German Army COMMEMORATIVE CARVED WOOD PLATE CRIMEAN CAMPAIGN SUPERB

  

Hand-carved, this wooden wall plate was made to commemorate the Crimean Campaign between 1942 until 1943. The Crimean campaign was conducted by the Axis as part of Operation Barbarossa during World War II. The invading force was led by Germany with support from Romania and Italy, while the Soviet Union took up defensive positions throughout the Crimean Peninsula. Both sides suffered heavy casualties over the course of the fighting as Axis troops pushed to break through the Isthmus of Perekop from Ukraine.

[citation needed] The Axis offensive routed the Red Army and enabled the three-year-long German occupation of Crimea. Made of a BEAUTIFUL carved wood motif depicting the island of Crimea, this commemorative plate is in EXCELLENT condition. It is very interestingly engraved. "Und wenn die Welt voller Teufel währ Krim". ("And if the world was full of devils - Crimea"). An AMAZING one of a kind item, there are not chips, marks or damage! 8.5 in diameter, it would make a PERFECT item for any collection or display! Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution.
