Just thought I would post a link to a relic and re-enactment site I just stumbled over. It is in french but has pics and is easy to navigate for the non-french speakers.

I found the link in a great book that I just bought called "Rückmarsch! The German retreat From Normandy" by famed Jean Paul Pallud. I am sure that those of you who has read as many examples of the "After The Battle" magazines as I, will know of Pallud as he has been the author and coworker on several "Then and Now" articles. I can not reccomend "After the Battle" enough.

Link:

Bienvenue chez Vexin Histoire vivante

Para. At first I thought that he had equipped himself with a private purchase WWI knuskleduster knife, but at closer examination, I think that it is just plain brass knuckles on the left shoulder harness.

I think this medal is Polish, but not 100% certain. Is it? WHAT is it? Is it rare, or common? Thanks!

I have an original Eastern Volunteers Schuma Police shoulder board for sale. It is black with a silver swastika and green piping. Very good condition. Additional photos available.

Thanks!

This is a pretty neat little pin. It is stamped "GES. GESCH" twice on the back. It is also stamped "KISSING and WENDEN" (I think) On the back. On the front it says "TRIER 1933" Trier is a town in Germany. It looks like a child's Tshirt on the front, but I hopefully am mistaken about this. :) Any ideas what this pin represents? The pin is approx. 4.5 cm long.

Want to purchase a Krim Shield with documents

I've posted this elsewhere ..... I'm disgusted ! (Should read Duxford ! ... I'm so angry my typing fingers are to pot !!)

Is this the 5 Million pound museum we've being waiting for ???

IWM Duxford - Europe's premier aviation museum : Airborne Assault

.. I don't think so !!!

I thought that the 5 million was going to build a purpose built museum .. NOT shoved it in a corner of an existing building ?

A friend visited it today, and said the whole display was small .... what on earth's going on ??

What has happened to what we were promised ??

.. And what has happened to all the material moved over from the Parachute Regiment museum at Aldershot ??? ... has it been boxed and shelved .. never to be seen again !!
