    1. Hello Glenn;

      You were recommended to me as a great source for information and photos on German generals. 

      Are there any photos of Major-General Ernst Roessler?  

      He was an Oberst in 1912 with IR of Voigts-Rhetz #79(3rd Hanover) and reached the rank of Major General by WWI.  

      Please feel free to PM me.

      Thank you,

      Claudius

        Hello Glenn;

        Thank you for looking!  As I said, you came recommended as a great source on German Generals.  If you don't have him, then I can understand that it's likely there isn't any publicly available sources that has a photo of him.

        Thank you again for looking.

        Regards,

        Claudius

        There is scant opportunism of such prospects where I reside.

    5. Does anyone else find the amount of packaging on a new dress shirt to be ridiculous, or is it just me?

      1. Claudius

        Claudius

        you get "new" shirts? To pretend I have a new shirt I take my hand-me-downs and iron hard creases in them then put pins in odd places stick me unexpectedly to simulate a new shirt.

        Glad you can join us. I look forward to your militaria posts. If you want to post some of your models from your other hobby, scroll down to the "Lounge" section and post some pictures. I would like to see those too.

        Great. I had wondered from time to time. I thought your school studies were becoming too heavy. Or, (God forbid) you were no longer interested in militaria! LOL

        The philosophies and practices on what avatar to show on a one’s GMIC postings seem to be as wide and varied as the people that own them. Like Signature Analysts with signatures, one day Avatar Analysts may say what our avatar’s reveal about ourselves.

    11. I've been away and my computer crashed. I tried to revive it with new parts but it couldn't be resuscitated. (7 is 110 in human years). I’m still getting my new one broken in, but when I’m able I hope to photograph and narrate on three (3) Imp. German medal bars.

      1. Claudius

        new computer, new OS and now some old photos and documents to retrieve. <<<fingers crossed>>>

        nope. the new computer is buggy. back to the store for another solution. There is a disquieting similarity to Henry VIII and his wives.

    13. Hmmm... Just hit 3000 posts. I expected confetti.

    14. "It's a bit of a WW1 bomber" I said to the admin staff after the postman had delivered. She said "pffffft". Jeez.

        Most people just don't care about history...You should have said it was a bit of Miley Cyrus' foam finger. However, I look forward to seeing it!

        It's like pulling a bandaid off...just pull it off in one stroke. Get it done with. Then it's done. You'll be back at it in 2015. Meanwhile you can enjoy what you have, do research, organize and recoop.

    17. New roof going on today. How many medals could I buy instead?

      1. Claudius

        Claudius

        Umm, yeah. My friend was married and he was considering transportation and hotels for two. I have roof replacement coming up and I expect it to be a real kick in the coccyx.

        Best not to think about it. A friend of mine had a roof done and figured it was equal to a two week trip in Europe.

    19. I'm back from the "Wilderness" of central California and you will be glad to know that the USS Pampanito looks pretty good for a 70 year boat.

      1. Claudius

        Claudius

        Thanks Nick. Yes, that is the Pampanito. And those are better photos than mine.

    22. Re-created D-Day landings with paintball yesterday. About 250+ players. Much rather hit the beach with paintballs flying than real bullets.

    23. Well, we've bought a house in Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay. Now to sell the one in Virginia
