Hi,
I think this is a local leaflet sold in Poland 1945 and the capture of Frankfurt? and the rest? my Polish is really bad.
Anyone has an idea?
Thanks,
Neil.
Hello,
I am no expert when it comes to ID tag's but usually they have the unit mark, soldier number and blood group.This tag is what i believe to be the later issue type that has only number's.I know nothing about this tag other than that it was found at a POW camp site recently.Is it possible to find out what unit this one was from?
Any help would be appreciated:)

I am reading Blood Red Snow and the author mentions using enamelled steel cartridges with his heavy machine gun, which more often than not got stuck in the barrel.
Why would these be used instead of brass cartridges?

For some time now I have been looking to purchase a decent CCC at a reasonable price. Recently I found one on a reputable site for only $300. Instantly I became suspicious of it's authenticity due to its price and the time that it has been posted without someone buying it. It is bronze with the maker being listed as Friedrich Linden. It is rated as being in good condition but I can't show any pictures due to the site blocking any copying. Is this a good buy or should I be cautious? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi.
Im sorry if this is somehow in the wrong thread.
Me and my brother this summer bought an old wooden fishing vessel here in norway. We knew almost nothing about it except the last owner and that it was built in 1893.
We are currently rebuilding it (quite a job).
So we started tracking down history on it thanks to fishery numbers.
And now i stumbled upon something on google.
A list of german auxiliary patrol ships which contained the fishery number of our boat and its name. What i can understand from the list our boat was listed as an auxiliary "Nebelträger" in a fjord.
Does anybody know what the function of a nebelträger is?
I know from the little german i remember from school that nebel is fog and i think träger means to pull or carry.
I do not think our boat was ever taken into "service". I think this was just a list of boats in "backup"
Could a nebelträger have been boats that would lay down a smoke blanket in case of enemy planes?
The wierd thing is that when i google it i dont really find anything else then other boats listed as nebelträger. No definition of what it is.
Im very exited by this. We all knew this boat had history (its been trough both wars) and was a fishingboat of considerable size in its time. So its fun to find some traces of it in war history (if you can call it that).
