I have recently received a Zeltbahn. I was wondering if there is any recommended way of cleaning theses things.
There are a few stains and it has that age old musty smell to it. Would be nice to display it without that unwanted odor. Any help or advise would be helpful.
Thanks in advance

Woke up after my night shift and the postman had left a nice little parcel for me 😁
This British Mk6 is made by RBR (Armour) Ltd. London, SE1 4NU, dated 1994 and is a size Large. This is a very uncommon maker for these MK6 helmets and not very much information out there about them. I’ve only seen one other on Greg Pickersgill’s Composite Helmet, Ballistic helmets, Military helmets UNITED KINGDOM, UK HELMETS, BRITISH helmet, Kevlar helmet
The seller provided me with this bit of information he knew about it:
“Possibly made for evaluation by the Australian Army, so I have been advised”
“This came from ITDU in Warminster (Infantry Trials & Development Unit)”
The helmet itself has seen very light use with a few scuffs on the outside. Interestingly the helmet has the soldiers name and number on the helmet as well as the helmet cover.
Thanks for looking guys 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Can anyone help with dating and identifying this blouse. It is a beautifully tailored item but has no label. There is evidence that pips were on the epaulettes.
I would appreciate any help.it was obviously made for a female officer and has removable shoulder pads!
Also, what is strange is that ALL buttons are the same (as in the breast pocket and buckle flap images )

Hi guys, hopefully I learnt my lessons from earlier posts and bought a genuine example - the condition seems better than average. Is everyone in agreement on this one, or did I miss a trick?

Kindest regards

Michael

Greetings to all,

My name is Roland from the USA and I am a new member of the forum. My apologies in not posting here sooner; I missed this section of the forum as I had not scrolled all the way down here before. I am glad to join you in learning new things and sharing information here.

My best regards,

I was somewhat surprised to read that Hans Asperger, the doctor whom Asperger’s Syndrome (also known as Asperger’s and Autism) is named after due to his pioneering work in the field, has been implicated in the Holocaust, including sending children to a euthanasia center to be murdered as "life unworthy of life."

These more recent conclusions stand in contrast to Dr Asperger’s post-war assertions that he strove to protect his patients from the Nazis and their nightmarish programs of "racial hygiene" during the Third Reich. An exhaustive new report titled Hans Asperger, National Socialism, and "race hygiene" in Nazi Era Vienna was published today; the report relies on previously unexplored archival documents, contemporary materials and extensive research. The report is available in English at this link:

It is easy to assume that there is nothing new to focus on regarding the Third Reich period because it has already been reported on to such a detailed degree. And then a report such as this regarding Dr Asperger emerges, revealing his hidden history as a thoroughly Nazi corrupted practitioner in the field of medicine.
