    1. 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
    2. Hello Paul Thanks for the kind words. The plate is not mine, but I have a dinnerplate, with the same inscription. Snoopy
    3. 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
    4. 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
    5. Thats really a work of art. Snoopy
    6. Hello The box at the right, is that the same box, as the one I have, and are both of them manufactured during world war 2, or postwar? Snoopy
    7. Hello Anyone have any more information on these, I would greatly appreciate it. It's made of bakelite. I tried to scan the lid, here it is. Snoopy
    8. 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
    9. Hello Wow, impressive collection. I really like your early NCO candidate tunic. Snoopy
    10. Hello I'm using a dual action airbrush from "Hansa". I think it's german. It has never let me down. Snoopy
    11. Hello Nice drawings. I read somewhere that the mine was effective up to a radius of 60 meters. Snoopy
    12. 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
    13. 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
    14. The 12,7 cm. brush, together with a smaller callibre brush. The smaller callibre one, is marked with a Kriegsmarine eagle.
    15. Another brush, for the 12,7 cm. cannon.
    16. In this shot, one can see the oil filling point.
    17. 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.
    18. 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.
    19. The box, with original matches. The logo can be seen in this picture.
    20. 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
