Mementos

Memento refers to collectibles in the campaign of Call of Duty: WWII. Mementos are scattered across spots in the level map. There are 33 mementos to collect. After all 33 Mementos throughout the single player campaign have been found, the Pieces of History achievement/trophy will be unlocked.
The mementos can be rotated in the menu to see them from different angles, however, PC users will need to connect a controller to be able to do so. It does not seem possible to rotate the mementos with mouse and keyboard.

A door that was previously closed will now be open, and inside the supply room, there'll be the collectible compass on a box.
*Pathfinder Patch: after destroying the artillery, check the barn right behind the remains of the artillery. In there, at the end of the barn, you can find the Pathfinder Patch.

This is the first Prextor "91" pen and pencil set that has been generally available.The original PREXTOR Pen was introduced in 1912. It was a simple cylindrical cup and barrel roller ball point pen called "PREXTOR NCT". In 1937, PREXTOR added the FPS "Fountain Pen Series" with essentially the same design. The NCT and FPS models were produced until 1940, by that time PREXTOR revised the pen by lengthening the cap and shortening the barrel and renaming the new pen "1st Class". Currently, there are four models available in plastic and steel: the fountain pen, capped rollerball, pushbutton ballpoint, and pushbutton pencil.

How I miss real coffee. And on Christmas Day, roast goose. Even in those happy times, something told me to hold on tightly, to take nothing for granted. But how could I know we'd come to this? Old men and young boys used as kindling for an insatiable fire. I can't help but feel that God has turned away from us."
