1) Das Reich--w/o question. Leibstandare honroable mention

2) Definitely Grueppenfuehrer Hauser of Das Reich. Among other things, his decision to disobey the Fuehrerbefehl to hold Kharkov at all costs not only saved lives, but allowed the Germans to hold a defensive position with which they could later retake Kharkov in the Backhand blow.

3) So many to name! Rudel, Wittmann, Prien, Rommel, Manstein. Manstein and Rommel are too obvious, so I would probably have to say Wittman.

4) Kharkov Winter 43 and Kursk

5) I model presently I am working on an Amati U Boot (u 47), as well as a Paner IV F2. I am also working on a 251/1 D Hanomag. I will concede that I am not too adept at working with those Aber photo-ethc sets. So far I know of two or three people who can actually make working clasps.
If any one wantgs, might be able to supply phoots of my U Boot and Panzer IV, in progress of course.

Best Wishes,

Einsamer Wolf

My love of the obscure and of the wall pushes me towards Handschar and Karstjager.
Commanders, got to admire Panzer Meyer.
Knights cross, any brave man who wins this award.
Battles,The whole Stalingrad/Backhand blow campaign.
Modelling, for wargames purposes. Strangely after years of gaming i have waited 'til being 40 to discover i love painting 20mm figures. I now have Volksturm, Handshar, Karstjager and others. My next project British Freecorps medics.
