Back to kindergrander won day? One big won? :? Perhaps not Kindergarten, but English class would not be that bad for 2SSPDR. If one of the allies could have defeated the allies 1 vs. 1 does not matter because fact is that the allies did not have to. Perhaps you should follow Jock's advise and have a...

Hope he did not "correct" his teacher by shouting "Wehrmacht" when she discussed "the great war".

Anyway, where did 2SSPDR go? He's very quiet lately.

Greenhorn: should a teacher refer to the Iraqi army with the correct Arab name? If not, then why should they refer to the German army of that time as "Wehrmacht"? Average 15 year old kids don't need that kind of specialized knowledge and one should not complicate such information.

Yes, of course. I was too quick with my reply.

505th faced Kampfgruppe Knittel at that time, not Peiper. More details available? Which company from Vandervoort's troops? Easy comp.?

I am certainly no Skorzeny expert but his career has been discussed quite often on Feldgrau and the AHF (were a "Skorzeny" veteran recently joined the forum). Some hints and tips regarding your questions: - use the search function on both forums for keyword "Skorzeny" and you'll ...

Sid, the third vehicle in the first photo is definitely a Panzerkinderspähwagen ausf. D. The Dunkelgelb paintjob makes it tricky but it can be identified from the mounted MG 34. The E model came with an MG 42 8)

I don't want websites (btw, just one of the links actually works) I am interested in the facts behind the myths created by Skorzeny himself. The post-war fame of Skorzeny mainly proves that he did a splendid job changing history in his favour. I would really appreciate it if you could provide facts ...
