So I've just come back from Stockholm in Sweeeeeeeeeden,
Down this street there was a room, no sign or anything, it had a shop front and an open door - but it had no name, which was pretty awesome.
Inside and in the window it was just packed with stuff, it was piles and piles of military and random things. Only 1 person could get inside, you had to shuffle sideways down the 1 isle past artillery shells and old guns, jackets and hats.
There was a guy behind this mound of stuff, you can't see unless you go right to the back, he has almost made a trench to sit in from all this stuff. It was amazing, as a lot of it was real equipment and clothing used during the 2nd World War. Including Soviet Overcoats (Which looked REALLY awesome, one of which was from a really high ranked officer).
And I made a purchase, an original soviet flag, made from a very heavy cloth and the Hammer & Sickle is like a dyed ink.
I could keep talking about this shop and if anyone knows much about Russian Ranks I have a very blurred image of the jacket this high-ranked officer had that was executed for war crimes during the war, if someone can identify it.
Apparently there were only around 10 people obtained this rank. (So the man in the corner said but I can't remember what!
) It has like 2 or 3 downwards arrows and a symbol above that. Leather overcoat.
Thanks. If you are off to Stockholm, the store is really worth a visit!
