Sirs/ Gents,
I am trying to obtain a signed photograph of the above. I know that Herr Freyer signed many photos prior to his death in 2014. If anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated. Please feel free to PM me.
Kind regards,

Just got a hold of this beauty. As a plumber here in Michigan I don’t mind bartering my skills for nice things. Installed a washer, a dryer and a laundry tub for this puppy:

Hello again,

I purchased this from the Collector’s Guild about a year ago. It is a beautiful piece, and I’ll try to provide more pics soon. Enjoy.

Dear all,

Maybe interesting. A lot of troops (NVA, Soviets, People’s armies of Bulgaria with their eye-catching helmets, Hungria, Poland, Romania) - tanks, apcs, (self-propelled) artillery, anti-aircraft, helicopters etc. - in action presented in an official report of the former DDR/GDR about a maneuver in 1980:

Hello everyone,

I’d like to share photos of my Type XXI engineer’s manual. I purchased it about 15 years ago, and only recently have tried to do more research on the information that it might contain. There is certainly no shortage of published and online information about the Type XXI. It has a fascinating story of development and production as a Wunderwaffe, though it was short lived and too late. My manual is interesting in part because it is incomplete. It appears that different mechanical and electrical components were built in stages, and once completed, diagrams were inserted into the manual and dated. The dates run from January 1944 until October 1944 but after that , no more entries. The back portion of the manual just has blank pages. Based upon what I’ve read, the Allied bombing campaign likely put an end to its production and for those that were further along in assembly, little time to work out the kinks in sea trials.

I am hoping members more knowledgeable than myself can answer a question for me. Would my manual be for a sub that was already commissioned and assigned a number (even though it was unfinished), and if so, does that number appear (maybe in abbreviated form) on the front of the manual? I’ve read where 118 subs of this type were commissioned but only two were put to sea right at war’s end. Any help with answering this would be appreciated, as well as comments or questions. Also, I have a lot of detailed photos of the manual that I can post if anyone is interested. Thanks.

Tom

Evening gents, now out of my recent "having a look at" helmets that I posted, here is one that I am seriously considering buying. It is an apple green EF HEER M35 with just the right amount of wear/patina to my taste! A good liner and a 1941 dated chinstrap, unfortunately I cannot make out the lot number but as always, thoughts are appreciated as I may well pull the trigger on this one. Leon.

Hello Gent’s,
I was in my footlocker of fun and was wiping down my Girls and started to clean this long dress bayo and noticed these markings. I’ve had this one for years and never really payed much attention to it but today I saw these markings under the manufacturers name.Its a Herder. Did somebody mess up a perfectly good dress bayo by adding that crap?:mad:
