Thats as a suspected, thanks very much!

About the colour schemes, the afvs, of all types, would be dunkel gelb. Cammo was done by the crew and could have been anything from a couple of grey, green, or brown stripes, to the 3 colour more complex "ambush" scheme, depending on how much availaible paint and time the crew had. Most p...

I fired the Cz24 last time i was in the Czech Republic (about a month ago) in a gun club in Prague. I don't know how similar the sights were, but the rest of the rifle is very like the K98. I'm not a sniper, but i wouldnt say i was a bad shot, gaining some shooting awards in my CCF and scoring well ...

In The Forgotten Soldier Guy Sajer says something about the volksturm having a really good rifle and definately means that one, whether his report is to be trusted is up to you, personally i believe his story, most probaly because i really enjoyed it and want to, but there a quite a few inacuracies ...

It has been a long while since i have read panzer commander and i cannot find it in my library, i remember Von Luck commanded 125th Panzer Grenadier Regiment, Becker's assualt guns, some tigers and a few other divisional units in Normandy near (south was it?) Caen and Pegasus bridge. What i do not r...

Nope, the only ive seen are in Waffen SS the unpublished photographs and Waffen SS- Hitler's instrument of terror, i forget the authors,

Mike

Exactly what i needed! many thanks, hm, those were extremely heavy loses!

As far as i kno, Wiking had the curved swastika on their tabs, all the info ive read in the past and the few pictures ive seen of them have given me no reason to think the contrary, but there may be exceptions,

Mike

ooooooouch! Kinda hot on the left hand!

I doubt he's firing it, just running along with it, but if he had fired it recently, im sure it would be most painful, though it is doubtful he would put himself through that pain,

Mike

Can anybody give me the numbers and marks of tanks the LSSAH began battle in Normandy with, and the same info when their campaign had ended, would be much appreciated, thanks in advance,

Mike

Asuming you mean private, in the SS, it was SS-Schütze and in the Heer( Wehrmacht) it was just Schütze, see this site for rank tables and equivilants in England and America, they get some of the english ranks wrong however, for example, a staff sergeant in the american army is the same in the britis...

Thanks ron, exactly wat I needed, I'm bulding a war games army you see,

Mike

Thanks, that site is really useful, im a wargamer and all those marking etc. are brilliant, thanks!

Mike

Argh! just looking at that enrages me! Even the smallest inacuracies like the collar insignia and eagles on wrong arms makes me extremely angry! These people get millions for these games and they cannot even be bothered to do proper historic research! I am somewhat of a perfectionist when it comes d...

In this period, what vechiles would the GD have used? I know they were Infanterie Regiment Grossdeutchland (mot.), so does this mean that they had just lorries and no SPWs? From which divsions would they be likely to have tank support and were they still organised, on a squad basis, as Panzergrenadi...
