hi guys pics wont load at the moment i need some sort of security pass and have asked the site admin guys what is needed.
in the mean time does any one know what an 8x18 wheel with a central hole and four locking nut holes may fit onto also says something like kompanie on the inner rim thought it may be some sort of light anti tank gun . found it on a roof in a deserted barracks of sorts in crete last year left it there as well thank will post these pics and a few others as soon as dave.
I watched cross of iron again ,and enjoyed the helmets.The cowardly officers m42 which was mostly always covered in mud was excellent. i liked the young recruit who had the reg helmet cover, and tyre band on his helmet.It draped a certain way on the helmet thAt looked fantastic.I wonder where these two helmets ended up ,in someones collection or gathering dust in some prop sellers store.Interesting they seemed to only use italian ww2 style helmets for the russian soldiers in the movie which was disapointing.I WOULD LOVE A PROP HELMET FROM THE MOVIE I MUST LOOK OUT FOR ONE!
I have a few pieces of great SS paper I am going to take to the SOS.The SS majors Unit ID has 142 pages of his military records I got from Washington D.C. If any one is interested e-mail me
