I just saw this post in /r/historyporn https://www.reddit.com/r/HistoryPorn/comments/5jine6/british_jeep_passes_a_sign_warning_against/

And in the Band Of Brothers ending episode we see easy company taking all kinds of things from civilians (or was it nazis?) and mailing it home.

I'm wondering if someone could shed some light on this whole looting/spoils of war thing for me.
