Just thought I'd show you some of the stuff I have in my collection, all of it is original.
I'll use links when the images are too big, but direct images when possible
First a little overview of one side of my room (its a pretty big pic btw):

Secondly here is some stuff from the Dutch Resistance, the "Nederlandse Binnenlandse Strijdkrachten", or Dutch Inland Forces (or something).

Top row, left to right: A cartoon booklet mocking the German occupiers, 1945, a booklet about the Dutch royalty in wartime,1945, a leaflet for a Resistance dance night, 1945, a couple of pictures of the Canadian forces liberating the provincial capital, Leeuwarden, 1945, a pack of "amateurtabak", literally amateur tobacco, which was made in the Netherlands because the supply lines with other parts of the world were cut off, 1945. Then bottom row left to right:
An ashtray with "Hello Mr. Jeep" on it, the back says "Souvenir from liberated Holland", 1945, an armband from the Dutch resistance, who apparently had something to do with Market Garden, because it also included a book from 1945 about that, 1944, then finally a couple of cigarettes that were dropped on the 31st of august 1941 into occupied Holland, to celebrate the birthday of the Queen.
Now here is an interesting item, a collection can (can someone tell me what the correct name for this is in English? Whenever I refer to it, I don't know what to call it) used by the 'Winterhulp Nederland', abbreviated WHN.

The WHN was a Dutch charity organisation, set up by the Nazi's in october 1940, that helped the poor in the winter. The Dutch people didn't trust this at all, so the organisation never recieved alot of funds. This image from a book I have (again mocking the nazi's :D ) illustrates how the Dutch people showed the WHN:

And lastly here are a couple of Persoonsbewijzen (a sort of passport/identification method used by the Germans) and Distributiestamkaarten (which were needed to be entitled to food coupons), all having belonged to my family. The one in the middle has a wooden cover, which apparently is quite rare.
