Hello I agree with Bill. I have allso seen pictures of groundcrew dressing up as pilots. I believe that the pictures dates from around 1941-42. If the Bf 110 is attached to a training unit, then it could perhaps be a little later, but still mid war at the latest. I base this opinion on the Bf 110 variant, which I believe is a D or E. I am no expert in these matters, so it's only my personal opinion. Snoopy
Hello My reference states that it was called the "Stockmine 44". The Bohrpatrone 28 was set off by the ZZ 35 or ZZ 42 tripwire igniter, and that it was effective up to 60 meters. My reference is a webpage called Lexikon der Wehrmacht. Snoopy
Hello mjfur Great pictures of an early Bf 110. Probably a D or E model, with underwing bombracks. I believe that these pictures must be early to mid war. I know it's off topic, but I am trying to identify the unit emblem on the nose of the aircraft. Do you know which unit the emblem belongs to? Snoopy
Hello I agree with you. It doesn't look like normal german pilots clothing. Just a thaught, could it be a staged photo, of a german mechanic, posing as a pilot? Snoopy
Hello again Since we are talking about '88's, I thaught that I would try to get an opinion on the following item. I have been told that they used this scale, when they adjusted the sights on the '88'. It was not easy to take a decent picture of this one. Snoopy
Hello Paul I believe that you are spot on, regarding the smaller one. I managed to find a measuring tape, and the metalcore is about 8,5 centimeters. That leaves a few millimetres for the brush hairs. Snoopy
Hello I would like to show you some german artillery cleaning brushes, that I have in my collection. They are for a 12,7 cm. cannon, and comes from a german naval artillery fortress, in Norway. Snoopy The first one, I find interesting. It has an oiltank. It was probably filled up with oil, before use.
Not medical equipment, but I decided to show it anyway. It's a foodparcel from the American red cross. It was sent to a prisoner of war camp, that the germans had in Norway.
Hello This is my Luftwaffe matchbox. These boxes was packed with the survival equipment. I don't know who the manufacturer was. There is only a logo of some sort on the lid. Does anyone know who manufactured these matchboxes? Snoopy
