When over in France after D Day my dad got blood poisoning from an infected cut and was seriously ill and unable to work - he serviced engines for RAF 247 squadron. He carried the mark for the rest of his life.
All he got was the threat of being put on a charge for self inflicted injury. 
He brought a Nazi dirk back - with a metal sheath and 'embroidery' along the blade. My brother has it.
I used to have a fighter pilot's compass, which was useful as it glowed in the dark - it was probably radioactive now I think about it.
