I stumbled on to another puzzle with my photo collection. I received a lot of pictures, showing French Colonial troops, Commonwealth troops and possibly Yogoslavian troops being captured by the Germans. In some pictures, Luftwaffe personnel are guarding the French POW's and in some pictures some men...

Does anybody know what happened to my personal favorite site: Third Reich In Ruins http://www.thirdreichruins.com/ That message that it shows at least doesn't look like anything nice has happened? Hopefully nothing to do with censorship? EDIT: While searching a topic of that site from Feldgrau, I ca...

Ok, here's a link to the picture we are talking about: http://www.silentwall.com/LuftwaffePortraits18.html Too bad that there's no dates in the picture. To me the photo looks like an early war picture, but that's just a guess... Btw, could please someone tell me, that what is the medal that Felix St...

can you scan the photo in here for all of us to see ? The word in this case would mean part of an aircraft-flug 2. ~E I'm currently updating my web site and the picture will end up there. I'll post the link to that picture when I'm ready. It shouldn't take more than this evening and perhaps a few h...

Hello! I recently received an photograph, where a group of Luftwaffe personnel poses for the camera. It looks like a very official picture, with an officer standing on the left side of the group, looking firmly at the men. When looking at the backside of the picture, it has the writing as stated in ...

"Echte Photographie" is not a company but sort of a quality standart. As you may know it translates as "real photographic picture". It just means it was done on photographic paper, not printed by a printing machine. Heh...thanks for answering, now I feel stupid :) I had translat...

Column formations with a bit of an early tanks :) Not really showing too clearly the formation, as these are not an aerial pictures. Christians picture is excellent! http://www.silentwall.com/Equipment26.html http://www.silentwall.com/Equipment25.html http://www.silentwall.com/Equipment35.html

Hi! I also collect postcards and photographs from Germany and I wonder could you answer my question, regarding a company that seem to have manufactured most of the postcards in Germany, during the thirties and forties. The company being Echte Photographie and it seems to appear almost on every postc...

Hi Kimmo,As a matter of interest, was the entire Jewish population of Finnland handed over to the Germans, or simply those thought ant-social or politically undesirable? No the entire Jewish population wasn't handed over to the Germans, as most of the Jew men, were fighting in the frontline and of ...

It's just that this subject isn't well known to the population at large because they aren't 'sexy' in the present atmosphere which prefers stories of Mannerheim and Finnish heroism. Yes and what's more interesting, that when I was in school, my history book didn't mention a thing about those eight ...

Yeah well, no surprise for me. People have been laughing for me many years, when I've said that we weren't any better than the Germans in many respects. I've always heard insults, but now after this new book. Oh well, I just would wish I could find all those people, who have said, that I'm crazy... ...

Ah, I haven't visited Feldgrau for a long time, but this addition to forum is great! I've also collected German stamps for a few years now and I've got a quite many of them. Most of the common stamps are there, but the rare and expensive ones are still missing for most part, as I haven't really seen...

Other game you might (and others) like is the Steel Panthers World At War.

I started to play it again few weeks ago and I think it's just the greatest strategy game around.

Oh yes, and it's free :)

I was thinking later to take a picture of the map I bought, but here's a link that will give you a better picture of the location.

Osmussaar is located on the left side of the map.

Well even with Schleswig-Holstein lying on the bottom of the sea, the island did come to obsession for me, so three weeks ago we made a trip to Osmussaar. If you want to see the pictures from that trip, you can do so at the address: http://www.kolumbus.fi/silentwall/WestEstonia.html I also would lik...
