Re: Germans = Nazis?!?

Alright, that's enough. We are all entitled to our own opinions. It cannot be expected that we will change everyone's opinions to agree with our own, even when they are wrong. I get that. So, before this gets nasty, I'm going to lock this thread.

Re: Battalion-Company level maps

Every one made maps like that, but finding them is a crap-shoot. Even in rolls of microfilm, there's no guarantee you'll find them. Be very happy when you do!

Re: Kriegsmarine infantery uniforms

To the best of my knowledge, non-ship type forces, such as Kustenartillerie and the like would have worn the same feldgrau colored uniform, but with Kriegsmarine markings, such as the gold Adler mentioned above.

Re: Poster SS division Nord

I would have to say post-war.

In 1940, "6.SS Gebirgs Division Nord" didn't exist. KG Nord wasn't formed until February 1941. So that date and that title tell me someone who didn't know the Division's history put it together.

Re: Welcome to the forum, tell us about yourself!

Welcome! I've become chums with several former and active squaddies on another site. Right colourful lot you are!

Poke around, ask questions, but I strongly urge a forum search for your questions. There are damned few that haven't already been asked!!

Re: Books on the Battle of the Hurtgen Forest and Aachen.
