I plan to do a lecture on British traitors in WW2 for a leadership course, and I am trying to find a picture (in uniform or not) of Thomas Cooper who served in the Waffen-SS. Can anyone help?

Hi, Further to my last message. I believe that the metal eagle could well be a naval chest badge that was fitted in place of a cloth variant on some tropical uniform tunics (an example can be seen on http://www.ab-militaria.com (just type Korvettenkapitan in the search box on the site)). The cross i...

KC Recommendations
Great idea for a thread. My recommendation would go to Oberleutnant Gunther Viezenz (10./Gren Rgt 7 - 252 Inf Div). No idea of the details leading to the award of the Knights Cross to this soldier on 7th Jan 1944 but this is a man who had an armful of Tank Destruction Badges being credited with 21 k...

Hi, I may be able to help with the first two items but the rest are a mystery to me. The first item - I believe this Deathshead is an emblem that was usually affixed to the sidecaps of those serving in certain squadrons of the 5th Kavallerie Regt. (The UK dealer Alan Beadle was selling one such cap ...

German Snipers
It's been almost two years since your question was posted so I'm sure you will have seen it by now but if not then you might like to get hold of a newish book called SNIPER ON THE EASTERN FRONT (published by Pen & Sword 2005 in the UK) which is the memoirs of Sepp Allerberger, RK holder. It is a...

Oberleutnant Hans-Karl Richter, GrossDeutschland Division
I have in my collection a tunic that belonged to Oberleutnant Hans-Karl Richter, Kompaniefuhrer 2.(SPW)/Pz.Gr.Rgt. Grossdeutschland, which is complete with his sewn on German Cross In Gold. Could anyone provide me with information on this officer with regards to his wartime, & post war, service?...
