Need help! Translation of wehrpass to Georg Kalemba

Hi Chaps, I've been buying a few Wehrpasses recently & I am trying to work through translating them; but have got stuck with some of the writing. The first one is to a Georg Kalemba from I.R.436. On the below I can't work out his home town Bismarck??? I think it's probably in Silesia, now in Poland and has been renamed.

Cheers,

Richard.

Need help! German Tag for identification

Hi there,

I've come across this tag (it looks like a mini dog tag) It has the word 'FÖRDEG' on the front of the disc, and is blank on the rear. The seller says it was found on a Luftwaffe Airfield.

Does anyone know what it is?



Cheers,
Lee

Help needed to ID Tommy.

Hii Guys,

This is my latest purchase, I purchased it thinking,it was a Mk2, but on arrival , i'm not so sure it is a Mk 2.

The markings are not MK2 ( ML8? 3? )

The chinstrap bales are not like Mk2's. Held on with what look's like bent split pins, my father in law said it's South African??

The finish is ,what i can only describe as a fine sandpaper finish.

Oh yeah.. and someone can painted Lt mellor on the front ( in a rather tasteful white gloss:rolleyes:), which is about as much use as a choclolate teapot, in ID'ing this lid!:confused:

Over to you guys, any ideas.....?????????

Oh ,and a stupid question should i remove the name or leave it?
Cheers

Defending One’s Self

The feeling for the need to defend one's information they present is admirable however, it is only human nature to do so. I have found that it is not necessary as people are going to believe what the wish to believe. Should it be specifics about a badge or opinions of artifacts, collectors ask to hear the truth but when told and it is not what they wanted to hear get a bit annoyed. Having trod that path myself, unfortunately many times, It's simply "Tilting At Windmills". So, collect what you're happy with and do not worry about what othes say.

Need help! ! 60€ War Merit Cross, 2nd Class - Fake???!

Hi Guys. I spent 60 Euros to buy a War Merit Cross, 2nd Class by a guy who was selling coins, medals, soviet pins e.t.c.

I read that there are many fake german medals and in fact, the war merit cross I bought doesn't seem to be 65 years old.
Moreover there are some details that make me very suspicious.
So, can YOU help me?

Please!
