Deutsche Farben Handelsgesellschaft
Hi,
Is there a way to find out what was the German firm "Deutsche Farben Handelsgesellschaft" contributing to the war effort?
Also, what was the branch (Deutsche Farben Handelsgesellschaft, Waibel & Co., 261 Szechuen Road, P.O. Box 1115, Shanghai) in China, Shanghai, working on ?
Thanks,
Neil.

Reichsbund der Deutschen Beamten pin badge
I have only found a couple of these pins on the internet and both have different markings on the back. This National Union of the German Officials pin is only $43 and is described as being in excellent condition and well marked on the reverse "1/14" attributed to the maker "Matthew Oescbsler & son". 23mm wide. Does anyone have a reference book to ascertain whether this is a legit maker?
Thank you in advance.

WAR veteran Ted Kenna made an outstanding contribution to the nation and will be remembered for his courage, Acting Prime Minister Julia Gillard has said.
Mr Kenna, Australia's last surviving Victoria Cross winner from World War II, died yesterday, aged 90.
His death was a sad day for the nation, Ms Gillard said in a joint statement with Veterans Affairs Minister Alan Griffin.
"Ted Kenna was a great Australian," they said, adding his story of bravery in New Guinea in 1945 was "extraordinary".
"Private Kenna made an outstanding contribution to the nation and he will be remembered for his courage."
"It is a very sad day and, if you like, almost an end of an era," Mr Griffin later told Sky News.
"We've only got two surviving VC winners now, and Ted was the last of 20 who were awarded that high honour during World War II."
Only 97 Victoria Cross medals have been awarded for acts of bravery since 1900.
Mr Kenna's death follows the passing of Australia's last surviving World War I veteran, Jack Ross, aged 110, in June.
Mr Griffin said about 100,000 Australian World War II veterans were still living.
"But certainly the death of the last VC winner is in itself a sad moment." he said.
Details of a memorial service will be made public at a later time.

Important! Private Messaging
I have a question regarding Private Messaging or PM's as they are commonly known.
Are PM's between members actually private as the name says, or perhaps are they not quite as private as we are led to believe?
Can anybody ( Administrators or Moderators or ANYONE ELSE ) other than the sender and recipient either read the messages or in some way see the title, or body of these messages?
I sincerely hope not, but someone who uses this same platform for a non related forum, informs me that it is possible? As we all must surely know now, the moderators/administrators) have their own network (behind what the ordinary member can see) where they privately PM each other and post about other members, as well as other forum related matters. I think these things must surely be put out in the open.
I think that this is a VERY important question that needs honest addressing. The obvious next question, is has ANYBODY ever read PM's that were not addressed to them, surely a breach of privacy should it have ever happened!
With sincerity and concern,
Grant

Japanese Type 90 found helmet
Hi guys,
We see lots of battle damaged German helmets, so I thought perhaps a battle damaged Japanese Type 90 might be nice to see for a bit of a change.
This one was from the Solomons, and I doubt the fellow wearing it is with us anymore!
As always any and all comments are always welcome.
Cheers,
Grant

U-Boots Kriegsabzeichen Good or Bad?
Hi Guys :-)
Here's another one for some advice today; it's the U-Boat War Badge (U-Boots Kriegsabzeichen) with accompanying dress miniature - Why do the names sound 'cheesy in English' and far cooler auf Deutsch? (Good decision by the moderators to enforce the use of correct names by the way).
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Jimbo
BTW: As with the Heer Fallschirmjager badge that I currently have up for scrutiny, this badge is entirely non-magnetic (aside from the retaining pin).
