    WWII Myths and Misconceptions (That Need to Go Away)

    This comes to mind in this case "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". The Allies had to established a second front in both theaters. Russia was needed in this case in Europe and both factions in China, the nationals and the communist. The allies could not support one side without the other. What...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I was mistaken...……..the Akubra arrived today. Out of the box, not all that true to size but I remember my other Akubras were the same. After adding the size spacer, it's OK. Color was spot on for my choice. Shaping begins, working on the crown now. Advice....I've shaped the crown the way I...

    South Africaner Fedora

    The English translation subtitles Youtubes were taken off. That song was causing too much, and others, controversy. It came out at a time in SA that stirred too much emotions I guess.

    What is your favorite military vehicle of all time?

    V-100's were my experience in Nam running convoys to Kontum and DakTo and back. If I could win the lottery, one of these and a M274 ½-ton 4×4 utility platform truck would be top on my buying list.

    We were V Corps Artillery so you could have had some 2/41st unit on your Kaserne that was VII Corps Arty. Our 41st HQ was located at Baboonhausen.

    WWII Myths and Misconceptions (That Need to Go Away)

    During a trip to Graf, we always fired off a Nuclear simulated round. Had the same firing effects and we went through the exact drill when firing. One such firing, the media was invited, about 15-20 different media people, cameras on tripods, the whole bit. They all line up to the left and right...

    WWII Myths and Misconceptions (That Need to Go Away)

    The 41st FA Bde was stationed at both Babenhusen and Hanau when I was there. I don't think there was any nuke rounds for the 41st Grp stored outside Nato Site 5 which was located at my location Fliegerhorst Kaserne at that time. No 41st FA unit was physically at Camp Dailey. I left there as the...

    WWII Myths and Misconceptions (That Need to Go Away)

    As for the comments about the French military, I can only speak from experience during the early 70s when the Cold War in Germany was going strong. As a mid-ranking NCO with 10 years already in, two years of combat, I was taken around to see the various kasernes that housed troops occupying...
