RAD Flag

This may seem rather run of the mill, but I am not sure of this flags specific use. Perhaps the size may be indicative ( such as in the US...a post flag, garrison flag, and so on.). When I got it, many years back, the seller proclaimed it to be a RAD Female Camp Flag. Hmmmm, Ok. I bought it because ...

Re: M 43 stick grenade...DEWAT...and deless...

Well, a re sized photo...sorry for the delay. I regret that some do not find the price acceptable, as I do try to review the various sales and consignment sites and price my items accordingly, and most often lower. The things I am letting go have been in the collection for up to 30 years or more.......

Osprey and Schiffer books

The following Osprey books are extra copies....after years you get so many...anyhow some may be inscribed on the top or bottom edges as I would make use of shelve space by setting them on edge, and I could read the title as written on the ends. Otherwise they are in excellent condition, some are bra...

Re: Gebirgsjäger Rucksack: How to pack it?

Albert, After 28 years in SF, and 30 reenacting (sometimes doing Gebirgs impressions), and humping a lot of rucksacks in the Uhwarrie, Appalachian and Rocky Mtns, I might put my two cents in. The books mentioned thus far are all great references, but you may also find individual memoirs, such as &qu...

Photos

PHOTOS .... Is there is anyone working on books dealing with the Heer in the west, anything on the 6th SS Gebirgs, and some Ost images. I have a lot of images that my Dad's uncle brought back, groupings from individual soldaten, typical buddy shots, deployment to the west(in 1940?), shot out T-34s, ...
