Feldgrau.net

Hey how about a favicon? (those little icons to the left of the URL)

They only take a minute to make and look neat (I think).

You could just use that Stahlhelm (?) in the upper-right corner of each page.

Thx

Thanks very much.

Grenadier Bodo Reineke FpN: 30 859c Geboren: 15.07.1923 in Loeningen Vermisst in der Naehe von Staraya Russa 01.11.1942 That's most of the biographical facts that I know; he did his basic training in Delmenhorst I believe if that helps. If there are any factoids which may help please ask. I think I ...

I don’t necessarily think it isn’t true, I just think it is rather odd and unemotional. One further example is the fact that he doesn’t mention the fact that he has a fiancé waiting for him at home or that his younger brother was killed on the eastern front until the very final paragraphs. The fail...

The under-equipped, undermanned, poorly trained Dutch army had the opportunity to engage the Germans in combat for less than a week. The Nazi occupying forces had nearly 4 years to influence, cajole, persuade and of course force Dutch citizens into the German armed forces. Over these 4 years they s...

And the same someone who suffered from Parkinson desease and whose last military rank was a corporal was the Supreme Commander of the Wehrmacht and was the architect of many brilliant victories including ones achieved in Poland, Norway, Balkans and French Campaigns where he advocated the risky deci...

Hi Taylor Collector, We have had this discussion before on Feldgrau. From memory, overall the Waffen-SS suffered slightly higher percentage the losses than the Army. However, the Waffen-SS largely relied on the Army's logistical tail and therefore had a higher proportion of its men in field units, ...

I also doubt that Gille, Steiner or Bittrich for instance would qualify for Pirx's statement of following orders blindly... The facts are that Gruppenfuhrer Gille on whom Adolf Hitler bet to salvage the encirled Budapest garrison and on whose 4. SS Panzer Corps he hoped, failed to accomplish his mi...

Thanks, that explains it. I guess it's confusing to me because why are you even given the option of editing it? (Axis History Forum, which otherwise seems to use the identical software, doesn't give the option of entering the form with the username in it.)

Hi

I changed my username in my profile (I was logged in) but it didn't stick, how do I go about doing this? Thanks

Thank you Erik :D I will look later today.We now know his full name was Guenter Knak, he was about 30 years old, killed in the last couple months of the war in a place called Stopnica near Mielec East Poland he was a Hauptscharfuhrer. (snipped) If he was a Hauptscharführer doesn't that mean he was ...

David Glantz (sp.?) I think he's the current "leading authority" on the Eastern Front here in the U.S.; I *believe* he also teaches at some war college or other, perhaps he could arrange to get a grant or stipend for some graduate student to do the work.

It's Fanny you have to worry about, and anything with cock in it.

Is that why the Scottish(?) name Cockburn is always pronounced koe-burn?
