I just had a vision of a house with BT-7s up on blocks in the yard with weeds growing up between them, with hounds lying in the shade. Scary.

Interesting question, The Germans used ithe BT-7 under the designation Panzerkampfwagen BT 742(r), theres even a heap of photos in this AHF thread : http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=42954 But considering : - the German use of captured T-34s was fairly widespread, - the Finns made use of ...

Hollywood sucks, but there is some good stuff. I just re-watched the classic A Bridge Too Far and was struck by the favorable way the Germans were portrayed, particularly SS corps and division commanders Bittrich and Ludwig (shown as positively professional compared to the very British bunglers Brow...

Berlin huh? Hmmm, damn close by.



Whats wrong with a beery fight anyway?
The forum would be ever so much polite afterwards.

Maybe its time to use the hidden reserve of cognac the radio-operator always "bunkers" near to his seat :wink: Cognac? Sometimes I swear sometimes the panzerpeople are worse than the air force. The story already mentions both potatoes and cooking , So a warm brew of ... ahhhh .. potato wh...

Thats from Forum Heroes : BLAME

M.H., I just realized we've been carrying on like this for more than a year

I'm patient, but since we received 5 killer episodes this weekend there is absolutely nothing to grouse about. Incidentally, why do we get the impression Max is unfit? He must have finally lost the beer gut by late 1944. Remember, your Panzerfaust was made by the lowest bidder. Furthermore, while th...

Don't forget that you have to get within 60 meters of the T-34 to use it! Let's see, an 85 mm cannon has a range of what again??? The closer the better of course, while going up against a tank with a PF is like bringing a knife to a gun fight, it can be evened up somewhat by staging the fight in a ...

Great stuff DCC, your writing talents are still growing. Very real, all bar painfull to read.

Just remember what panzerfausts do to tanks (and tankers), particularly those soviet ones with unprotected ammo stowage.

The volksbund lists the name as de Water. I understand the Hauptverbandplatz is a regimental level evacuation hospital, so that would have belonged to the 4.SS-Freiwilligen-Panzergrenadier-Brigade "Nederland" (though some places its listed as the 23.SS-Freiwilligen-Panzergrenadier-Division...

The last DCC call for volunteers during a story wound up in a lot of Star Trek style red shirts being issued.

Agreed, agreed, M.H. the story so far is good.

And echo Tom.

Tangled emotions is harder to write than simple blazing gunfights, though you may want to find a laydee coauthor DCC.

...but Arajs and Hansen REALLY friendly???.... 8) Michel, they say that politics makes strange bedfellows. I'd be willing to bet that certain death has the same effect. Well, as the Clint Eastwood character Gunnery Sergeant Highway in Heartbreak Ridge said Just because we're holding hands doesn't m...

Hansen's unshaven face was almost a thing of beauty. Hansen had become the "lucky charm" of the Latvian unit--the German who was too stubborn to die when he should have.... That is so. Hansen is a big man, and being old school SS Hansen is too proud and brave to take cover much : he will ...

Former SS 19th division company commander and EK holder 1st Lieutenant (Ostuf.) Rolands Kovtunenko describes exile in Siberia in some detail in his autobiogaphical "Neatzitie karaviri: kaujas virsnieka stasts", some real interesting stuff including the strange fate of ex-ROA soldiers and s...
