SMGN-0039 “The First” First division information book Sent home by guard at Nuremberg Trials

This is actually a tough book to come across. Im not sure if it was given to GI’s in country or if they purchased it specifically as a memento of their time served. It has “Passed by censor for mailing home” stamp which indicates that the owner was still in freshly occupied area when he sent it home. The owner of the book (John Oliverio) was assigned as a guard at the Nuremberg trials. These guards were mostly newer replacements.

The book is an overview of all the Big Red One’s accomplishments. This book is in very good condition. It does show wear but no major damage. A must for the big red one collector! About 6×8″ with 60 pages.
