HI,

I'd like to know something about this item. It's a HJ Flieger canteen. Does it mean it was used by Hj members who were taught about aviation (e.g. how to fly a glider) to became in the future Luftwaffe pilot?

Best regards

Hi,

Which country produced this mess kit? Markings appear to be: AST.APKAUST. Maybe it's an Estonian stuff?

Hi,

what does mean this marking (shape like V letter - second foto) found inside magazine of Fusil Mitrailleur Leger 1924 gun? I know that those guns were made in Belgium before the WW II, some of them were sold to Poland, where I found this one.

Best regards

Hi,

I'm looking for info of Flak unit which used to use captured Dutch 75 mm Vickers guns. This cartridge case from this gun was found in the area of Wolin (now western Poland), not far from Swinoujscie (former Swinemunde). Thanks for help.

Hi,

could this be a German Imperial era practise grenade? It's resembling a bit a Russian tsar era practise grenade but it was found in the area of west Poland.

Best regards

Hello,

When you say the western part of Poland, do you mean a part of Poland that was once part of Germany? I know the Luftschutz used helmets from various allied countries. Saying that, I would have thought the badge should have been removed but then even Germans go against the book on the odd occasion.

Whatever the reason for this helmet ending up in Poland, having the badge attached makes it very interesting in my opinion.

Hi,

Yes Tony, it was found in the area situated near Oder river. I've seen once on Germanmilitaria.com this type of helmet in Luftschutz painting but with removed badge. But, if we assume the helmet belonged to Luftschutz then I have to pose a question how large were towns in which Luftschutz were created? The town (former K?nigsberg Neumark) where I've found it is quite small, besides there were no reasons for air raid on it, except of airfield located near it, but I've never heard about any bombing occuring there.

Kev in Deva thanks for info So it could be also used by Romanians as well.

So many possibilities.

What do you think about this m34 dutch helmet? It was found in the western part of Poland. The badge and damadge are clearly visible. In front of the helmet you can spot remains of green paint.

Do you know anythink about usage of this helmets (without removed badge) in Volkssturm? I've found out that in the area where helmet was found, soldiers from Romania and Holland fought in Skorzeny's Europe Division. So, if we assume they used it, why the badge wasn't removed?

Late World War One. The driver is wearing the leather jacket of the Kraftfahrtruppen. The Feldwebl in back is too small and blurry to see anything other than he is wearing Gardelitzen on his collar and Feldwebel chevrons on the left sleeve of his M1915 tunic.

HIi,

thanks for reply, what is it "Gardelitzen"?

Hi,

Does anyone know to which army belonged those soldiers? Germans during WW I?

I received info that they may served in german Luftwaffe during WW I. Is it true?

What type of car is it? On the side of the car is writing nr. V.5841.

Below you can see plate with number and befor the windscreen there is a number plate with number Kz? KK38.

But letter K can be as well H.

Hi,

Rick Research. I've finally got my canister and on the box for the replacement lenses is written: Wullner ; KFZ (twice).

Hi,

it's something like "Mullner flieg. horst ???". The first writing is owners second name and the second - fliegerhorst (airfield?). But I have no idea about the meaning of those 3 letters on the bottom. Thanks for help.

Hi,

can anybody recognize those markings? First letter appears to be S but the second is unclear. Which of the ruler indicate those letters?

Kind regards
