Yep.....

Some unit straps you just never see either, take IR 180 for instance.

I love the quaility. Nothing in zinky TR land comes close.

Black and white photos do funny things to colors, especially yellow.

Wurtemburg Silver military Verdienstmedal and a DA2.

Very nice. Are you going to remove them from the frames?

The two large ones on the left are US WW1 75mm rounds. The one next to them is a Brit WW2 6 pder AT round. What pipebomb?

Don't really have much to show.....

I'll rent you a room at my house to store stuff.

I love grenades. It is ironic that the average person equates the stick grenade as "the" German grenade.

Nice items.

That was my first thought as well. They look like kids. Can we guess the date the pics were taken?

I couldn't imagine maneuvering over that terrain.......

JapanX, That is exactly what I was talking about. You obviously like to get the last word in too so I will leave it and this thread to you.

I was in Berlin from 89-91. No certificates then either.

Perhaps he gave it up so he could get the Japanese perspective entered into history. The english sub titles make perfect sense. They were probably added during the interview as I'm sure Fuchida was asked the meanings of things. Why would it not be added to the original report? Did they have a copy available? And why do you get so combative when someone presents comments that oppose your views? You cannot have a conversation if we all agree now can we? As for giving things away, I gave all my uniforms away except for one set within a year of being out. They didn't mean anything to me but the neighborhood kids liked them for paintball.

By that stage of the war I'm sure that sentiment was gaining popularity.

Regimental runners would deliver messages to either higher HQ or Bn HQs correct? Neither of those were in the front line so perhaps the need for a weapon was not as great as the need for speed.

I'm surprised it wasn't confiscated after the war....

Perhaps a calculated buy based upon this thread here.

With these you must be very cautious. Almost only works in horseshoes and handgrenades.

I figured that when you said "funny revolver" it meant you were drinking.....

The revolver looks like a holster to me.

He is "sure" because he is sure a 7th class should bring more money.
