I have to wonder how ashamed they would have been if they had won?

You haven't got the fan heater that uses the same connection as well have you?

Fallschirmjäger-As far as I can tell, there were only 3 battalions of SS parachutists, compared to 10 ish divisions of Luftwaffe paratroopers (and what a suprise-more reenacts doing airborne). Are you need to say that these people need to be wearing the gear to be able to teach others? (sex education classes at your school must have been intresting to say the least :-o) If people want to dress up and play soliders-well that's up to you, but don't try and claim it's the best or only way to educate people to history! (That version of history seem's to choose to ignore those who aren't exiting enough!)

Do you know any SS reenacts :dunno: All of history should be kept alive... I presume you would like to see SS banned & if so in banning SS reenactors wouldn't that be denying history like David Irving The SS are banned-they'll never reform! :whistle: No I don't know any SS reenactors, but I don't think that I'd want to. If some idiot is stopped from running around beltring etc in an SS uniform it isn't denying history-the SS , and the things they did are fact, I just don't like the idea of the idiots glorifying them! I get my history from more reliable sources than a bunch of SS nuts running around a field-there are plenty of reliable book's I can read that tell me what a lot of the SS were like! Why not reenact the catering corp? If you think reenacting is the only thing that keeps history alive-the cook's are just as improtant as the SS (or Yank airborne, Paras, commandos etc) just not as good for posing around in a fancy uniform. (I'm not suggesting YOU do it-just reenactors generally-but if you do, mine's an egg banjo please :-D )

I saw that-I presume they meant a baggage trolley with belsen and SS markings. I commented at the time, I'd have thought that even if somebody kept the trolley after the war, they would have got rid of the markings. It looked in very good condition. I wouldn't put it past somebody selling something like that in the first to fake it. :dunno: I'm not a big fan of anybody wearing a uniform they're not entitles too, but I really have to wonder about the mentality of any German reenacts (especially the non German ones). As for SS ones, I can only presume they do it for political reasons! (I'd still rather see a marquee with mannequins wearing all the uniforms-I could see them all much better, and there wouldn't be hundreds of poseurs wearing airborne/special forces uniforms and very few of the more common(during the war) ones. Cat amongst the pigeons-please discuss. ;-)

Is it a storage container of some kind? :?

As a source of fuel or fertiliser? :-o

Does the user stand (or squat) on the right hand side? :schocked:

Muslim troops?

Let's face it, everybody likes to camp with their friends. But it might be intresting to see different types of vehicles in groups. EG early jeeps at the start of the row, moving onto the post war ones, land rovers etc. And the same for other types (trucks, heavies, different types of armour etc) Sort of a vehicle evolution line. (to see how they have improved over the years :evil: )

Your not missing anything by not having a plaque. They'll be printed on tinfoil next year(there not far off now). I was admiring somebody's board of them this year-the ones from many other shows were substantial cast brass affair's really show up the Beltring ones! :dunno:

As much as you like em, you shouldn't bow before them anyway :-D

is it camouflage for something firing through a hole in the wall?

Would there have been just one on each vehicle? (or one per corner maybe?) :?

It's square and look's greasy :whistle: :dunno:

Some form of jack maybe?

Next question-is the liquid dispensed on the move, or when the Carrier is stationary? :?

Does the tube dispence lots if items (pills etc?) or one long item (rope) Or maybe even a liquid????

Really big gas mask filter?

Is he carrying the mail?

Yeah-You'll be poor and covered in oil as well. :dunno:

How easy is it to get the smoke grenades? I would have thought that the discharger isn't really necessary to set them off? (pull pin and throw). If I've got the right end of the stick, the Canucks have the right idea, They restrict the ammunition for anything over about 20mm, not the discharger. so they have no problems owning anything over 20mm. (who's ever tried to rob a bank with an artillery piece). It's just a pity we'll never get a politician with enough common sense to think of anything like that :banghead:

Is the fact that the items can be left in a heap relevant? Are fortifications involved? (2 for the price of 1 :-D)

It's not something old like longbows or pike's is it?

Is it an alternating to marching? :dunno:
