meyer

just read my copy, very good. My compliments for the nice job!

indeed, very interesting

shoulderboards

Here you go Paul.

Tunic no longer in my collection!

hi paul,

I once had a white km summer tunic with medical shoulderboards, don't have it anymore though

So that's why i can't find any polish stuff

Fantastic collection Greg!

Very nice Eduardo, lovely set. I think that's one of the best and nicest things to do with a collani.

Is there anyone that has period photo's of the blue km reiter hoses in wear?

I like it Andre, nice tunic

Ah, ok, so with device colours, you mean those eichels, i know what you mean know.

About the different types, could the following been worn by kusten units?

- Rifle and machine guns, would be obvious that they are for kusten units to.

- Light AA

Thank you for the reply Eduardo, but i don't really understand all of it.

What do you mean with "it doesn't have any device"?

Do you mean that the km schnur was used for several parts of the kriegsmarine? The same cord for flak personnel, artillerie personnel etc.?

Is this what you mean?

This question is for the coastal artillerie interested.

I'm looking for books about the coastal artillery/flak units, regiments etc.

Been searching the web for books about this, but couldn't find a lot of books.

Some books that know of:

- Das Buch der deutschen Kriegsmarine 1935-1945 - Geschichte,Organisation,Schiffe from Mallmann

- Der Atlantikwall - Die Bauten der deutschen K?stenbefestigung 1940-1945 from Rudi Rolf

The books have to deal with Holland and the coastal defence there.

Hope some of you can list some titles.

Eduardo, that schutzensnur of yours, it is the 4e stufe, right and also the highest one if i'm correct?

Thank you Eduardo

Thank you Hank, this is what i'm looking for, not the unit i'm in search for, but now i know how they wrote down the units.

Very nice wp Hank!

hello Simon,

Thank you for your reply. I've also seen a lot of awards for Marine Flak units and there the unit is listed the way i thought they would. But still wondering about wp's.

If you think about it, they list the unit on awards, then they would probably also list it on the unit entries in the wp. What's your opinion? Still strange that these wp's are so rare to find..

The edelweis was used by the u-boot crew of the U-124.

I'm not the person to tell you this is period or not, but it's definitly not the material i'm used to see with these kinds of caps.

The insignia looks ok to me. I'll check some books, maybe i can find a pic of this kind of material

Thank you Paul.

I also hope that. I've been searching every sites for similar entries but without results and that's makes me wonder about how these units where listed.

I was wondering if someone could show me a WP from a k?sten artillerie soldier serving in a flak unit. I've been looking for one of a specific unit but until now with no succes. Since i haven't found one, i was wondering how it was noted in the WP.

Hope to see a nice example and especially, the unit entries.

Very nice, hope to welcome my km tunic M42 somewhere next week.

Keep the beautifull tunics coming

Indeed very nice Chris, items with a known history are always good to have, especially km stuff

Thank you very much Eduardo.

Why i ask this question, is cause you have eagles, original ones, that i think look like crap. I think you all have seen the eagles with the thin neck/head. Thou original, wenn i first saw them, i thougt it was crap. This is just an example.

If others have eagles to add, i would love to see them.

Regards,

Jasper

Very nice lanyard!

So both the front as the back should be the same. There is thus no shirt ww2 period that has the front shorter then the back. Glad i know cause there isn't that much information about these shirt.

Regards Jasper

Maybe another question would help.

Would love to see your period photo's of kustenartillerie members in the blue uniform (collani or peajacket)

Regards
