That's cause he's banned from Feldgrau.

Wherever Hitler invaded, he forced the native populations to drive on the right I've met Austrians who assured that that is indeed true, ever since the Anschluss in 1938 they drive on the right. It makes sense that all countries that were incorporated into the Reich had to adopt the rules of the Re...

Hi Koen, Concerning the organisation of the Wehrmacht you will find a lot of information on http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de Their information is mostly taken from the work by Georg Tessin "Verbaende und Truppen der deutschen Wehrmacht und Waffen-SS im Zweiten Weltkrieg 1939-1945". The ...

Phylo, I completely agree with what you say though there was a litle rhyme and reason here and there. As a mattter of fact in February 1940 the Austausch von PzKpfw III neuester Art gegen PzKpfw III Serie 1-3 program started the exchange of Pz III's of the Ausf. A, B, C and D in service with combat ...

Hi all, Does anybody know how many Pz III Ausf. A's were actually used in Fall Weiss? 10 were built and on 2 november 1937 two were with PzRgt 1 and two with PzRgt 5, the other six had been issued to the schools at Wunsdorf and Putlos. Here and there I have come across bits of text that claim that m...

More likely trying to get home to lie low

Hmm......wouldn't 'home' be a very dangerous place to lie low when one is searched for by the countrymen of those one has allegedly murdered?
Personally speaking 'home' would be the last place I would try to hide!

Timo, Since I don't have Westermeiers book I don't know if this is already known to you but in Agte's 'Michael Wittman and the Waffen-SS Tiger commanders of the Leibstandarte in WW II, Volume 2' there is a bit from the memory of Ernst Kufner of 501sPzAbt: "We moved to the exit from Waidhofen, t...

I saw it a couple of months ago and wasn't impressed at all. At least not in any positive sense. Wat was meant to be a lazy sunday afternoon watching WWII flicks changed into 'hard labour' having to watch Guiness making an utter fool of himself. Then again, maybe I'm just spoiled after Bruno Ganz di...

but if it was it probably would improve the taste! :D :D :D maybe so, and just maybe I'll write to the factory and ask them if they would be so kind....... 8) Which reminds me.......a few years ago there was an icecreammaker (not sure in which city but I think it was in Amsterdam) who thought the u...

Sounds good Jason!

Will it still be called 'Feldgrau' or renamed to 'Feldpedia' or 'Wikigrau'?

Haring is Herring, we ate it cured in salt, .... Indeed it is Haen, and I'm sure you've enjoyed your fair share of it but I think you missed the point on this one.......we now have haringdrop , shaped like a herring, very salty and coated in sugar........the most excellent drop ever :!: ......well....

Helmut and Reb, In the winter of 1942/43 the reversible wintercamouflage clothing was introduced so in the early spring of 1943 these would have been worn with the camo-side out. To the best of my knowledge the 'regular' uniform pieces that were produced in camouflagecolours were introduced just bef...

Had a look into this Breaker McCoy character.........and now I know where Bill O'Reilly takes his history lessons. Extremely prejudiced and biased nonsense not worth the paper it's printed on.

Hello hero and ljadw, Thank you for your responses, the numbers given by Frieser for the entire Wehrmacht tie in well enough with other stats I have seen so I'm to happy to accept those as close enough to the mark. That leaves the number of men involved in Fall Gelb and it's exactly in the number of...

.."WWII ended on the 3rd of September 1939 when Poland nuked Berlin"... Nah, it says kontrataku plutonium reserves. Counterattack plutonium was a tactical weapon that was still years away from developing into a strategic one that could be used against cities.............as everyone knows....
