Re: Landesschützen-Zug der Luftwaffe 168/VI

Have you tried contacting the Bundesarchiv for materials related to your Grandfather? They may still have some record of his war service up until he is listed as missing.

Best,

Re: Totenkopf panzerjager dog tag

A picture of your tag would help, but if you can type exactly what you see on the tag from top to bottom that may help.

Re: no one stop the spam ?

I sincerely hope that with a site rebuild being promised that the tidy up will also extend to the forum. Feldgrau desperately requires a reboot if it is to stay alive at all.

Good luck JPollar & the Mods!

Hi Prosper,
I agree, it is a great pity. and perhaps the silence from the owner tells us all we need to know about the future of the forum.

Re: no one stop the spam ?

I have considered volunteering us as admins Prosper, to try and purge the spammers but I sadly don't have so much time that I can dedicate it to the forum. Currently it is too easy for the spammers to gain membership of the forum, not sure why that is but if it continues then there is is nothing to ...

Re: Photos of the 225 ID - Russia 1942-1944 - Part 3

I'm just getting a bit fed up about the torrent of rubbish on here now. It appears John Howard is the only Mod left, I seriously wonder whether we are witnessing the final moments of a once great forum.
