From what I have read in various memoirs, the ranks of Oberschütze and Gefreiter were parallel promotions based on experience and time of service. One veteran writes that he had spent 6 months with his unit after basic training and would normally have been eligible for promotion to Gefreiter, but no...

Hi Paul. Oh, I just come here for a bit of light entertainment after a hard day at work and some renovating/building in the new house. The German forum I frequent is quite dry most of the time. And, believe it or not, I quite enjoy your banter. I also enjoy the feedback I get elsewhere from people i...

....... We like to name people when we speak of them because that's how we do things - A source in Belgium tells me this may not be so....... :?: :oops: If you add 2 and 2 on this one, you seem to get 5. I've spoken to the judge today. He's a bit busy at the moment, as he's moving house, too, but h...

Sorry to hear about your puddin's, but that's happened to me before. No intention of telling you folks how to conduct business here. Sorry if it came over that way.

Now that is the way we can communicate. I have no objections to being looked in the eye and called a c*nt by someone who can take the same, but the slightest hint of back-stabbing is likely to put me into a flaming rage. On the other hand, most of the time I will "see all, 'ear all an' say nowt...

I am nobody's "mouthpiece" except my own, and that of my group. Tha's tarrin' 'em all wi't same brush. I don't speak for Hoover, and he doesn't speak for me. Not until some agreement is formalized in which way this could or should be so. Oh, by the way, I can get very snotty about being mi...

Hello to all of you. I am an expatriate Yorkshireman living in Germany. I have been here for just over 30 years, and have been involved with re-enactment here for most of those. Most of the time was spent doing ACW and Napoleonics, as those were the only recognized periods which interested me. As in...
