Hi Rosenberg,

I'm sorry but I'm not really sure what it is you want to know.

As I mentioned before, they were given to helpers who had shown over a period of time that they were competent in their tasks. It can also be found in a painted or lacquered form probably from later in the war when enamel was more expensive or in short supply.

Cheers

Hi Don ... the rest are magnetic?

Sorry Darrell, forgot to check back No, I only have the two DRL's.

Regarding the War wounded shown on WAF, looks wonderful, but also looks "different" to all of the others I've seen before. The finish is different, almost as though it's a polished bronze with silver letters...... I'm not saying it's bad, just looks different.

Cheers

Don

My silver & War wounded are both non magnetic.

Indeed, Brienner Strasse 45, the old site of the Braunes Haus.....

If you look at the top picture & compare it to the one below, you can still see the position of the buildings entrance. Look at where the wall has parts that stick out, these were where the columns were that had the lamps on. The street lamp was moved while the BH was still there, because in later shots it is where it is now. I assume AH didn't like to have to walk around it each time he came & went. When you stand there, you can see where they have added another layer of blocks to make the wall look like it is that height all the way along & hiding the step that was between the columns.

As I was looking through a bunch of postcards in Munich the other week, I turned a card I was considering buying over to look for a price. The post mark caught my eye as I found it quite striking.

Here it is, has anyone else any unusual or striking postmarks that they are willing to show?

Ehrentempel in Munich??

Not very far there Robin, it's certainly in your (& my) favourite city.

Cheers

Don

No, sorry, I only took the one to match a postcard I had.....

I'll post the card later.

2005. But what was here before?

You have to keep any eye on these as like everything, they have been widely faked....

Anyone like the Luftschutz helmets?

Here's one of mine, a near mint parade helmet.

Don,

I used to go there on a regular basis, I even managed it on 11.11.98 and was given tickets for the VIP corner in the gate from a friend of mine who lives there (that placed me nicely in picture in a BBC programme about the ceremony). My next trip will be in October but only to fill up on the way home as the nearest petrol station to Hooge crater is one of the cheapest (for diesel) around.

Excellent, I've not managed on "the day" yet, it's moving enough the rest of the time, I can't imagine what it would be like on the 11th.

Cheers

Don

Very nice Richard, it's sure in a good condition.

I've been hunting for a nice M35 DD with the bordered decal have you got one?

Cheers

Don

Thank you gentlemen, yes these are getting expensive these days.

Jim,

It can't be easy finding anything with Ron hanging around.......

Cheers

Don

Have you been there for the Last Post ceremony held each night? It's a very moving experiance.

Cheers

Don

Sorry, we were posting that the same time

Not in Germany..... Perhaps Belgium..... Ypres perhaps? Menim Gate?

Cheers

Don

my first thought would be either the Seigestor in Munich or the Brandenberg gate in Berlin?

Cheers

Never given these much thought before, but came across these while in Munich & thought "why not"....
