Here is a display of the awards that went to our friend Willi. He was a Flak gunner on a Flakvierling in Russia. Among other places. He has some real stories to tell. He shot down 2 Sturmoviks and took out a T34. He was never awarded a Luft. Flak Badge or a Tank Destruction Award. Still, a wonderful bunch.

I think they only completed 20 or so A7Vs. A lesson they would learn for next time.

Thanks for the kind words men. WWII Soviet gear is hard to find, but this guy does look pretty good. I would love to find a WWII Telgrieka some day and a real helmet to go with it, I'll keep dreaming.

I did upgrade the parka, kept the rest. I got the Helm cover from an old friend who got it from a trusted source.

OK, well, here you go. He still looks cold. Kind of covers up the rest. As I understand it they were a bit short of gear at Bastogne.

Well lads, here is a true labor of love. My Panzer Grenadier Schutze, NCO candidate, as he would be seen at Kursk. It took 15 years to find every thing and many upgrades. Prost!

Here is my new KM Helm. M 35, ET 64 size 57. The dome stamp is dated 1936. The decal is only 45% or so and the other was removed per orders it seems. A couple small dents, definate combat vet, named to Boyesen. I like it.
