Found near the city of Aachen. These positions were occupied by Kampfgruppe Diefenthal, which consisted mainly out of SS Battalion Rink of the 1st SS Panzer Division and SS Battalion Bucher during the battle of Aachen in october 1944.

The position consits of a blown bunker, positioned on the top of a steep slope facing south and a few nearby dugouts.

What we found was for the most Czech material. We found about 4 filled K98k ammo pouches, parts of a MG37(t) and tools, Vz. 24 bayonet, miniatur Reichssportabzeichen in Gold and standard rotten German ammo, wartime coins, jerrycans and a pit full with empty Czech Mauser clips, all in a small area of about 10x12 metres near the bunker. The dugouts strangely contained only few American finds, .30 cal rounds/casings and empty Springfield clip.

Hi Folks, I bought this recently from a reputable dealer and am very pleased with it. I had been after one for ages and thought I would run it past you. it has lost a bit of paint and the liner has a couple of splits. It is small (stamped ET62)

Cheers Blondi

Hi, new member so i shall shuffle around looking lost for a while. In the meantime could you give me your esteemed opinion on something. I have a matching pair (left and right) of Standartenfuhrer collar tabs. They are on Brandenburg black velvet and made of nickle silver (I think!) Two acorns depicted (one empty) with a single leaf. Had them since 1968 Would post a photo but aint got a clue how too and need sleep! Would just like an idea if they are rare...collectable...or as comman as smarties.Also got a double decal M40 helmet...well thats what I thought till I looked at your posts! Now know I aint got a clue what it is. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing as they say! Thanks in advance. Chis

original luftwaffe lid its stamped inside Q64 456

its my new helmet and i really like it so i thought i would show here for you guys to see it :D

decal details have mostly gone to time but it is still near all there and it looks good to me!

sorry for the bad photos they are from a phone i must get a new camera cable

Hi, here is another Pioneer tag, it has a little different fonts and letters than the pioneer tag I posted a couple days ago. What does this one say, what is "stamm" ?
This one looks like maybe a fake tag, but not sure, I am new to collecting German WW2 Erkennungsmarken, and seems there are many different stamp fonts to be encountered on original tags.
Any opinions on this one in the first photo? The second photo is the tag I posted a couple days ago.

Regards, Steve
