Found him.

Walter Liebing, Major, Fhr. Fallschirmjager Regiment 23. As far as I know, there were no Knights Cross winners in the FD.

Cheers for posting Imme. Do you know who the Ritterkreuz Winner in the photograph is?

If you want an FD smock, especially if you are doing the Luftwaffe controlled period, Splinter B is the only option. Not sure who is making them nowdays. Mine is a Spearhead repro made about 5 years ago. I believe Barry Lyndon was making them but I don't know if he still is.

Interested Imme, was unaware the M44 in Feldblau existed but as you say something for another thread. Out of interest, do you have the photo of the tan and water smock or the link to where it might be? I've never seen it and am keen to see it.

Been thinking, is there any interest in setting up a field division group in the UK? I used to be involved in a group about 3-4 years ago, which became defunct after a couple of events. It was set up as a sideshow group for members with other portrayals (my main one being Grossdeutschland). So anyon...

Yeah I used to own a repro tan and water FD smock many years ago when I first started the impression, which I later sold and upgraded to a Splinter B one. I have a theory about these smocks, which could just be that. Does anyone know when the Tan and Water jumpsmock appeared? My theory is that when ...

I've seen these smocks being sold by many dealers over the years along with the incorrect Splinter A models. My question is, does anyone know if these ever existed and if so, to what extent they were issued? I've never seen an original picture depicting this camo being worn in by Field Division troo...

You might be right Mikkel, its hard to tell either way. I always thought it was the silver gilt collar tabs but looking again I'm unsure. Unsure about his Waffenfarbe, looks pretty dark, maybe dark green, blue or black. I'm unsure about the selection of officers for these divisions once the Army too...

If you are portraying an officer in a late war Heer controlled Field Division formation, the uniform you need is a standard Heer officer uniform with a Splinter B tunic. When the Field Divisions were taken over by the Heer in 1943, the Luftwaffe withdrew all its officers and valuable personnel from ...

My favourite that I've taken. The COs of GD Aufklarungs and Fusillers meet up for a planning brief.

Maybe able to help you Botty. I'll probably be taking snaps with my Voigtlander Bessa and or Zeiss Necker (that needs a slight repair), so I'm interested in the nighttime darkroom facilities to devolep pictures on site and as long as I can keep the negatives after the event is done, I don't mind the...

Here's my favourite, taken by myself. http://www.gdrecon.co.uk/galleries/whittington/images/woundedrun.jpg Group: GD Aufklarungs Photographer: Martin Pike Taken at: Whittington Barracks Why I like it: Just one of those pictures, taken near the end of a photoshoot when we did a bit of a wounded soldi...

Jez I wouldn't use original kit for re-enacting unless you have to. I used to use some bits when I first started out and its really heartbreaking when they get ripped, torn or broken. There is a great deal of repro WW1 German items appearing on the UK market and its cheaper than its ever been before...

Next event for me Danny is COAM but next one as FD will probably be the Spanby battle in July. Fancy jumping in as FD with us? COAM I'll be with 16PFA mate :p when in July is Spanby as I'm out of the country till the 15th. You still doing the early period? Paul you know I've always had a hankering ...

And all the other ducks are nervous too.

You're only jealous PD because I didn't invite you to join me. I've very selective about who I jump in puddles and scare ducks with, don't you know?
