Nice Find!! I am jealous!

I have my doubts... They would have gotten their tunics at musterung and kept them after being transfered... I know Tom and I have different views on this, but there were no photographic instructions... If you tell a unit back in Germany to sew things on their lower sleeve, then a unit in the field, then a detached unit... it must have pretty much ben up to the iniative of the tailor where he put it... Then once the guys came from the ersatz battalion to the field regiment, someone would have said "Hey, you newbies are wearing it wrong......" I can think of a few times in the army when verbal instructions led to people doing things wrong/differently But we will have to agree to disagree on that...

Possibly... but I think everyone is on the same side of the fence on this one....

Operation Confusion Thunder sounds good for this little tiff..... Maybe it is not considered an operation at this moment?

Wow... thats more patina then I have ever seen on a bar!!!! Nice...

veeeeery nice shot!!!!

Guess who would be buying! ;-)

Artillery shells without the guns, mortars without the Bipods..... No wonder the Chinese are going to take over the world.... they can improvise like noone else!!! "We are going to steal the blueprints of this artillery piece, not pay copyright.... then fire the shell from on top of a pile of sand!!!! Hows that for a cunning plan!!"
