Why take a Beetle/Käfer and make a Kübelwagen from it,as it would be way to much work to make it accurate! You need a chassis from a 181 Kübelwagen (the Thing) and then build a new Body around that! You can use a Käfer chassis,but it will not be as good going offroad! If you need a Kübel body try Le...

Looking for either mg42 or Mg34 that fires propane (Gas)! Is there any supplier who sells the whole unit (Weapon & Gas kit)?

Look at http://www.Knackmandel.de he has them for little money!

I would`nt bet on it,but I think the red romanic numbers stand for the certain "Wehrereich" the Soldbuch bearer was assigned to!Once you got reassigned to another Station,you automatically were assigned to another Wehrbereich (Areal Command)!

I registered with coppermine a while ago,but still did`nt get a confirmation mail! Was trying to load up some pics,but coppermine tells me the username and e-mail address I use is already given to someone else....???

to my knowledge,everyone joining the SS doing at least 4 years of service was automatically raised into the "Beamtenstatus",wich means he will be a state or Government employee for life - that means in detail you are privileged,you can´t get laid off and you will receive retirement pay mon...

Actually way things are over here is,that as soon as anybody dares to say what he thinks about growing numbers of foreigners that do not want to be integrated,everybody starts pointing fingers at him calling him nazi or extreme right!During the Football championship,when German people started to red...

basically the ss celebrated german or better germanic feasts as midsommer ,julfest and so on! Himmler saw the ss as an elite order of black knights,fighting for race and führer - something comparable to king arthurs knights - just a little more arian :wink: ! The julleuchter (candleholder) was suppo...

I think you can,since the badge stand for completion of a special school and the ones who wore them were drafted for regular duty just like everyone else -the badges are just a sign of speciaization,but as an officer who attended admin school,you could be put into an infantry unit as commander or ex...

Those Patches were worn on the lower left sleeve only!The only Patches to be worn on the right sleeve were Tank destruction Badge,Alter Kämpfer Winkel and if worn at all the sniper Badge! The Flower stands for Officer in judicial service (5 Leaves to the Flower).The Star with 8 points is for Officer...

Well,at least you`re allowed to screw children in Belgium without getting hanged -wonder what happened if Marc Dutroix(?) had been reenacting !

speaking of Holland - the former leading seafarers nation,holding the monopoly for sugar and.....black slaves!

If you wear uniform,you should wear it with pride! If you alter it,or disgrace it,it`s nothing but a costume! A uniform is never a thing of personal matter or preference,it stands for comradery,unit,fatherland and unit (at least the military ones) and if one decides to wear a certain uniform,he bett...

was reading your treads on your Soldbücher and I think you guys put a lot of effort into filling them out - BUT unfortunately they do not appear realistic! I don´t want to be a smart ass or ruin your work,but originals were filled out using Suetterlin script! Suetterlin was the only authorised offic...
