italienischer tarnmuster

I sell it or change it, pls contact me.

Military channel bullshit….

I have sent several emails, and have called them more then 20 times, and asked the following;


Question # 1;

Why do you constantly only show the victims, or the supposedly victims of WW2 Germany, there are plenty of people that thought the Germans were doing the right thing, and yet you only show the ones that oppose the Germans. As there are 2 sides on the story, not just their one sided story they keep running...

Question # 2;

You only show people that have a negative impact on everything German during the era.

Question # 3;

Why do you only show the forces that oppose the Germans, you seem to make out that every German was a monster !!!!

Question # 4 :

You seem to make us all believe that all Russians after the war was peaceful, and loving people, you never mention the gulags, and where well over 14 million German, and civilians died at the hands of Stalin.

Question # 5 :

you never mention the treaty signed in France at the end of WW 1, that left the Germans with their hands tied, and no way to dig their selves out of the ghetto, without going to war with France...


Question # 6 :

You only seem to emphasize the negative, and everything wrong with WW2 Germany, and yet you will say the Russians were right, when they went into Berlin, and raped, and murdered countless German citizens, all because they were Germans, and that was OK, accordingly to US, and British commanders at the time..

I am an American, and when i heard from a WW2 US Veteran say, that they shot all Germans, especially SS on sight, Because they were German, and they deserved it for being German, THAT REALLY PISSED ME OFF...

I told the old timer i was talking to , that he was lucky that i did not stump his ass into the ground, If he was not in a VA hospital at the time, i would have done it....

He still thought that was funny that he shot all Germans, especially SS...

Bulgarian Artillery from 1878-1918 Web Site

Marco has put together an excellent new web site on Bulgarian Artillery from 1878-1918. This has quite a lot of great information especially considering that Bulgaria used many weapons from foreign nations. The up shot is that if you are interested in German, Austro-Hungarian, Serbian, Ottoman or French Artillery you will find interesting information on his site:

Undocumented Japanese Flight Set

Here are a few pictures of a undoucumented Japanese winter two piece flight jacket and matching trousers. Both dated 1944. So far as we know these have not been documented any where. These are fur lined and are quite durable. They resemble the summer IJA flight suit set, with noteable differences.
1. fur lining
2. no belt
3. no zippers at sleeve cuffs
4. electric hook up for heated head gear and goggles
The trousers provide the same flexiblilty as the summer set, with the addition of fur lined pockets, and no belt or tie attached. However there is belt loops for a removeble belt, no zipper at pant cuffs, only buttons to taper the legs to fit into the flight boots.

As always I welcome your comments and views. This thread is merely to alert the collecting public that there is undocumented items out there, and to be on the lookout for them

Please tell me if and where these items are show any where else, as that myself and a few others, believe that these are not listed any where else.

Enjoy the pictures
Cheers Falcon

Insignia lot–need help with identification?

Below is posted a small insignia lot. I'm pretty clueless besides the pin on the far right.

Is the totenkopf from a panzer collar tab? Don't know anything about the edelweiss clip and the other. Any input?

(These are not my items)

Collector’s Guild

Had a question about the above website. Many people here praise the owner, but have also said that his response time is very slow. Just wondering if anyone else had problems like this when they ordered from the collector’s guild. He’s listed a phone number, but says the best way to contact him is through his email, but I still haven’t received a response, and am going on 3 days now…should I try calling him?

Another Heer Infantry visor for consideration and comments…

I think this one has a nice look. Kind of iffy about the inside though... Thoughts?

Need help! Need help Identifying Officer Tunic Markings

I’ve had this tunic for over 10 years, but never really looked at the markings on the inside until lately!! Can anyone help explain or identify these markings?? The numbers are sizes, I believe. There is a name above the numbers—looks like GW Post or something like that. There is also a large number "5" below the sets of numbers–kind of hard to see, but its there. ALL of the medals on the tunic have the original loops sewn into the tunic–so this guy had alot of medals! I think it is a Colonel in the Artillery tunic. I know the medals/accessories are probably in the wrong places, but they look good displayed! The pants did NOT come with the tunic, but they matched well, so I bought them. Are they original German?? I’ve posted pics of the markings in the pants as well (the ones with the number 36, 45, 68, and the letter "R" in the square are the markings on the pants). Any info would be greatly appreciated! I TRIED TO UPLOAD THE PICS, BUT IT SAID THE SIZES WERE TOO LARGE!! I CAN EMAIL THE PICS IF YOU WANT. OR I WILL TRY TO RE-TAKE THEM AT A LOWER RESOLUTION AND POST ASAP. thanks
