You have big gonads to do this freehand!

Thanks for the update.

We are taking a different approach.

Using a fired flare round, drilling a primer pocket and using a shoutgun primer or large rifle primer, balck powder under cork wadding.

Will keep you posted.

Greenhorn "Doing the job that the European Union didn't want to do, since France and Germany were receiving oil money from Saddam and isn’t that called corruption?" What's that smell...... Ahhhh BS! And you like the line: "Sources please. Have yet to see any polls, articles, scientif...

The Allies on the other hand continue to believe that World War 2 was a more defining moment than the crucifixion of Jesus Christ . . . . Sources please. Are you really a college or graduate school student, because your posts are frequently sophomoric? If you were one of my students you would fail....

Apparently many Americans when asked why they cannot subdue the Iraqis in Najaf and Fallujah when the Russians found victory against the incredible might of the Wehrmacht at Stalingrad have replied that Stalingrad was NOTHING compared to Fallujah and Najaf.

Collar tabs were different as were shoulder boards. Waffenfarbe was carmine (a shade of red). trousers also had the carmine strips, same style as General Officers, but different color. Also they had identification letters on their shoulder boards. I am away from my sources now, but if you can get Da...

Damn, you learn something new everyday.

Nice and neat how they have become lost!

They existed. I have seen outtakes on documentaries about the July 20th plot, lately on the History Channel.

Hitler told Goring that Germany would not attack England until at least 1946. Also didn't Hitler state in Mein Kampf that he wanted to restore all historical German lands to Germany. While he might not have wanted a "world war" he wanted to make the greater German State and if needed to do...

On Dec 8 1941 the US Congress declared war against Japan. 2 or 3 days later Hitler declared war against the US. In response the US Congress declared a state of war against Germany. If Hitler had not declared war against the US, then the question is open to US involvement in Europe. The allies decide...

I tried searching for a thread (thought I had seen it on this forum) with a picture or two of US Jeeps in use by German forces, but could not find it.

Would you point me in the right direction or to a place that has those pictures?

There is a oft copied picture showing a Panzer Officer dringking from his canteen, standing on his tank in shorts and hi-desert-boots. Also there are many pictures of Infantry wearing shorts in the desert. Look at "Their War," (Most of the pictures in it were 1st published in Signal.) Also...

But if both pilots have the same level of skill, then the machine they are riding will make the difference. Skill level does not matter. Randy Cunningham shot down the NV leading air ace. The NV pilot had 23 or more kills, Cunningham got his 5th when shooting him down. Say you take 2 pilots both wi...

Looking at Davis' book on Luftwaffe uniforms I noticed a few pictures of fighter pilots wearing bandoleers of flares around their boot tops. What was the intent of loading down a pilot with so many flares? Were they used as signals in the air before engaging in combat, or intended for use as signal ...
