Re: WW1 Books.

If you get the Junger book,get the earliest version you can find.Later editions were adjusted to better suit the times. ---bil

Re: It never rains but it pours... Southern France, 1943

No,that happens sometimes.Mostly in older posts.I am moderator on a mg42 forum,and this happens randomly when we do an update.We usually as the original poster if they will re-post,or if I have saved the pic I put it back up.There may be other reasons I am not aware of. ---bil

Re: "Tiger" by Rüdiger Warnick and Stephan Cazenave

Then digitalizing a photo would also produce a 'fake'-with true film,there is information stored that is either there or not.In a good,clear black and white photo much detail can be brought up in the developement process,or by enlarging.If you enlarge a digitalised photo,you will eventually end up w...

Re: books on german tactics

Panzer Tactics-A large size book,soft cover,readily availlable.I feel it is well worth getting,many reproductions of drawings from the original German manual,what to do and what not to do in a given situation i.e. how to set up for a river crossing,where to place vehicles for maximum tactical use,wh...

Re: Heer im Einsatz.

Thanks for the pics.I especially enjoyed the mortar squad.The photo is very clear,and there seem to be many pics of a MG squad with gear stowed,but not many mortar ones.Neither is a job I would envy,I have carried a lafette that way,extremely heavy! ---bil

Re: German teenage draft

If he was captured in 1945,I doubt he was in Russia,at least not at first! :( And home in 47 was lucky,some were kept until at least 1956,lots stayed forever! ---bil

Re: New Topic Suggestion

Does this aversion also apply to Civil War and Revolutionary re-enactors?Some of them are billed as 'living history' re-enactors and provide a look at how the soldiers really lived then.Without actually shooting each othert,of course.I have no dog in this fight,I collect books,and the guns minus sol...

Re: Review: The Last Knight of Flanders

I just finished the book,the review above is quite accurate.Much of it was put together from memories of the members and correspondence through the years with Schrejnen himself.It does jump around a bit,but otherwise is well written.It also describes the diferance between the various factions in Bel...
