Question Did Zhukov know Paulus wasn’t allowed to break out?

Hello Friends,
I was watching a Stalingrad documentary recently and I realized that I had no idea if the Russians knew that the 6th Army was forbidden to break out of the Kessel…Your learned input is appreciated…;)
cheers, Glenn

Need help! Edelweiss Cap Insignia - Authentic?

I am looking through my collections and turning up some interesting stuff. Most of my interests have been centered in firearms and edged weapons, however I have been finding many other items that have been gathered over the years. This is one.

Your opinions, please!

Heer and KM metal cap eagles recently acquired (good to go?)

Hi everyone,

After a long dry spell, I decided to bite on a couple of items that I have not had much experience with: metal EM cap eagles, one for a Heer visor cap and one for a Kriegsmarine "Donald Duck" cap. If I didn’t outsmart myself, they are good… if not, then I’m sadder but (maybe) wiser.

Any thoughts on these two (or information on what to look out for in the future)?

Regards,

G. Kelly
