Hi guys, this is the first of two sidecaps that I own in my collection that I need an opinion on. Have done the thread burn as well as the blacklight test in the past. Remnants of the front leather piece still there. In your opinion is it thumbs up for this wartime Pioneer officer cap? Thanks in advance

Description: Very nice condition M37 style Flieger HJ visor hat with light blue piping. The visor was manufactured by Clemens Wagner (#4). RZM label is present. This visor was used for the company ranks (e.g. Gefolgschaftsführer
Obergefolgschaftsführer, Hauptgefolgschaftsführer, Stammführer, Oberstammführer).

The Flieger HJ visors are way harder to find than the regular red “allgemeine HJ”.

EUR 2500,- plus shipping

I came across this M43 field jacket with an 82nd Airborne patch; I believe the patch looks fine but always like to get other opinions as I know there are quite a few variants. Unfournently there are no tags on the jacket but I do love 101st and 82nd airborne stuff so this definitely caught my eye. Any opinions on the patch would be much appreciated cool militaria

I’ve seen them configured like this and I’ve also seen examples where the wearer moved the eagle up and placed the Schwedter-Adler where the eagle originally was placed - like some mountain troops caps where they moved the eagle up to make room for the Edelweiss (I have one such cap).

The following is being sold as an "I believe it to be a reproduction" by the seller. Can we confirm? I compared fonts to the fake thread and the F and small r may be bad but did not see the B as a bad one…but I am inexperienced.

stamping is -

So I recently came across a pretty m42 helmet and now I ventured out into a different land of searching after I had asked the gentleman in which I bought the helmet from. Soooo I happen to come across this! Pretty epic find! numbers do not match the guard though but that’s okay with me as to how well the bayonet is! However I really wish I had gone to this guy sooner cause that day he told me he had sold a SS helmet for literally a steal of a price so I nearly cried. Oh well more hunting and enjoy the photos!

73 years ago today, the Second World War ended in Europe. Here in Britain, mass celebrations lasted all day, and well into the small hours of the next morning. As the Western Allies celebrated, the peoples of Europe began the overwhelming task of scraping together the shattered remnants of their previous lives. A continent that had been subject to the ravages of war for nearly six years was finally at peace.

There were no illusions of the trials that remained ahead. In his speech from the cabinet room of 10 Downing Street, Winston Churchill was solemn but confident. In it, he had this to say.

"We may allow ourselves a brief period of rejoicing; but let us not forget for a moment the toil and efforts that lie ahead. Japan with all her treachery and greed, remains unsubdued.

"We must now devote all our strength and resources to the completion of our task, both at home and abroad. Advance Britannia. God save the King."

Nearly four months later, on the 2nd September, the Japanese signed the instrument of their surrender on the deck of the USS Missouri. So ended the most lethal, destructive, all-encompassing conflict that mankind had ever seen. Six years. Sixty million lives. Something that must never again be repeated.

Regards, B.B.
