Question Hands-On WWII Lesson #2

Hello, all!

The time of the year is finally here!

My class still has a little bit to go until we reach our World War II unit, but another teacher will be starting his WWII unit shortly (he has to first finish his unit on totalitarianism). The other day at track practice (we coach together), he asked me to team teach with him either this coming Monday or Tuesday and share some pieces of my collection with his students.

Last year, I brought in mostly helmets and a few medals. I spoke about the tough times and sacrifice that "The Greatest Generation" faced. I also spoke about total war in general and how very few consumer goods and pleasure items were being produced while the population was mobalized to either fight or contribute to the war effort…

SO! I am looking for more suggestions for the hands-on lesson I will conducting in the next few days.

I really want to touch on the fact that most of these kids would probably be in the service if we were back in the 1940s.

Also, I have a few war ration books I will bring in… I really want to touch on how difficult every day life could be back then… The kids I work with on a daily basis are VERY materialistic… I think it will blow their minds that if we had the same rationing system in place today. They couldn’t go to the mall on a daily basis to buy their Hollister, Banana Republic, Ipods, XBoxes, snapback hats, etc…

MG 34 production and rarity

Hi all,

Does anyone have any data on the production figures and rarity of MG 34 manufacturers and years?

I’ve a Maget 39 machined cover Mg34 which I’m considering swapping for a 1945 mg34 and I’m not sure if its one of those decisions I’ll regret when presented with the data so I’ll hold on until I find out.

Regards

Bigsie

extra pictures of my MP40 in classifieds section

Sorry to put them here, but I seem rather clumsy when posting on the classifieds section!
I never seem able to insert my description when edit the advert…
Also do not seem able to modify it !?
I haven been loocking what has been said about thise , but couldn’t find any answer.
Anyway, I have been asked by several members to show more pictures.
I might as well do it here (I think/ hope!!).
First I want to ad that I was amazed to see how most springs of the push-buttons still work well; the one for the folded stock and the one for the mag.
Also that part at the end of the folded stock moves gentle with a nice "click" sound!
Gripps are post war, and i think a magazine would fetch properly in, but I never tryed!
cheers
