When asked to show an object from WWII with importance to you, I decided to take a diffrent route. Most people went to Ebay and found something that interested them. I turned to my stepmother whom had some of her grandfathers buttons from WWII. What I found were these two German Nazi buttons. The larger one belonging to a worker for the German Red Cross. It shows you that no one was safe. Red cross people were supposed to be protected, but this was not the case. The other was a button he removed from a dead German soldier so he could send it back to his family to show what he had done. These are significant to me and my family because they show our part in the war. They also show that no one was immune to death by war, and you took whatever you could off the dead.
