Zimmermann eagle

Some of you have probably seen this M1/72 499/42 eagle on PvL's site.
I'm happy to tell you that Peter and I have made a deal, so
this little bird will soon have a new home.

Quite common to find in unused condition but very rare in used.
I will post better photos of it when it has arrived.

Question Soldbuch - Wehrpas differences

New guy here. What is the difference between a Soldbuch
and a Wehrpas? I have a Wehrpas and it seems quite
detailed. Soldier was from Regt. 755 which is part of the
334 infantrie division.

Question late war KM K-verband flashlight

Hello ,
I have this Flashlight in my collection and it was sold to me as a later war ( late 1944 -45 ) Klienkampfmittlel or K-verband flashlight . This was also used by the luftwaffe , as I was told . This is a stamped sheetmetal tube with a brittle plastic dome lens . It is water proff and floats straight up in the water so the light acts as a beacon .
I was told that this was used by the linze or explosive boat K-men . This flashlight is painted a Luftwaffe grey/blue . I know the explosive boat men did use Luftwaffe para helmets still sporting the Luftwaffe eagle etc. and even used a Luftwaffe wrist compass .
I enclose some pictures that look like my flashlight , but I am asking my fellow posters to ask is this a post war flashlight ? Opinions are welcome !
