I recently received a box of WW2 German trinkets/documents while renovating a house. From my basic translations it would seem that they belong to a Mercedes manufacturer who was important in the early days of the occupation, could anyone help me finding out who he was/translate them properly?

In real life/media relating to the Vietnam War, its common to see grunts tire out from the war and begin drug use, insubordination, "fragging" of officers etc. While these attitudes might have been common in average troops, did this anti war sentiment ever creep into the Special Forces/elite units?
