Hi all, i am trying to remove my distributor(complete) on the jeep but cant get the sod to budge, have tried a strop oil filter tool but too big. As unit is cast can`t us hammer any ideas anyone ? Ashley

Hi all, an item of this design if found in the bunker was probably the property of Hermann Goring (successor to the `Red Baron`and CO of the flying circus in the 1WW). He would most likely impressed by a clock of this nature/rarity rather than an ex Corporal of the army in 1WW ! Or possibly another of the Flying types seeking refuge in bunker. Ashley

Hhhmmmmm found in FAKEham eh? i am sure old Adolph would never entertain a nice clock with a very non German looking eagle and no swastika to boot :??? ........... He may have been a somewhat CUCKOO but it don`t look right to me. Just my thoughts we shall have to wait and see Ashley

on a serious note a "stealth" U-boat was recently discovered in the Solent, i believe the boat was encased in a rubber skin which prevented it from being detected by sonar ? Ashley

Makes a change then....... A

Ireally can`t belive you guy`s....... i suppose you don`t recognise midget submarines either :nono: Ashley

Is this a `teat a teat` or can anyone join in ?? Ashley

During the 1939-45 desert war the germans sent most of thier vehicles in the continental grey (also a lot of their troop wore uniform items of the same colour). When permissable vehicles were resprayed but many just accumulated dust and sand for the camo effect. This was also true for captured vehicles. Ashley

Hoping to arrive Friday sometime. Ashley

:idea: aniti aircraft M.G. battalion, the bottom marking O/S the circle should be a figure indicating which company from memory Ashley

You will note from the film that very few ( if any ) of the German troops are wearing steel helmets but are wearing the `scratcher caps` or a few are wearing the Picklehaulb. This is because the first German helmets were not issued to troops until 1916, they were supposed to be issued for this battle but not enough helmets were available at the time. Ashley

We even have the Piddle river `ere in Dorset :-D Ashley

Sorry gung i am afraid i can`t as it was nearly 40 years ago but as i mentioned we teavelled by the old military Bedford bus which didnt normally go too far from town. Ashley

Hi gung, noth answers are correct. Ashley

could well be.... when i was there all i saw war US troops Can you name the camp/barracks so i can look it up on google. Ashley

It certainly looks correct for the German car club, not sure which period though, but looks to be the modern type . They have a website which can be translated to english. Ashley

Must be something to do with the military railways as run by the Royal Engineers (replicated cap badge on radiator) I think the placard on the side of the truck say`s Royal Engineers Transport...? Ashley

They occasionally turn up on e-bay,the problem will be how large Ashley

Hi all, there is a lot of controversy regarding these badges including these made by Seilier (sp) & comp. of Geldern...M1/129 and this maker is one of the most copied by the Chinese. They are apparently commemoration badges the originals were made be for 1933 (but with out dates) and reissued (sold) to aid party funds in approx 1935 so a person could show allegiance from the beginning of the party. As you can see not a brilliantly made badge by any means, but these along with other artifacts of German Third Reich history can become a fascinating and complex area to research, wehrmacht-awards.com for further research. Ashley

There is at least two differnt types here the black faced ones (unless it is camo paint or natural shadows) appear to be Dorset Down sheep ..... sheep....HMV`s what next ??? Ashley
