Looks very cool. One question should the dude with the helemt on have k98 pouches and bandoliers? Not seen that before.

[VonSchnitzel]

So what your saying you either have K-98 pouches or bandoliers but not both?

[gdfuseddie]

Are they all your own groups photos? Not all of the ones on your website are. Flattered though I am that you have a picture of me and some of our lads on your home page, before using pictures that are from another group, maybe you should ask first as a courtesy.

Oh yeh...

[VonSchnitzel]

From what I have been told is was a googled picture
I didn't know a google picture needed permission
However I will tell our web guy to remove it asap.

sorry for the error

You dont need both, if you carried that much brass you would strain some thing

I beg to differ. My opinion is based on two points:

1. Late war period photographs
2. My own personal experience (as a real paratrooper, albeit that was 30 years ago!). You carry as much ammunition as you can - and then some!

[SplinterB]

To my knowledge Tobruk wasn't late war lol .could you share the photos with us? . Carrying as much ammo as you can and having 2 different types of carrying method are different.

He's Police rather than infantry - and the bandoliers empty. looks like somebodys bought stuff and wants to wear it.

experiance from differant armies in differant period is completely irelavent.

German ww2 infantry dont carry that much ammo - they aint supposed to - If they are piled up with anything - it will be MG ammo. And this dudes an MP anyway.

Ahhh... That'll teach me to look at the picture before passing comment in future! However, I maintain my 'real world' position

[VonSchnitzel]

Yeah think I should of taken the bandolier before putting that police necklace
They guys pulled it out off the bag and handed it to me and I had no idea what it was until they told.

Next time I will have a new mp-40 and pouches anyhow.
