    Does anyone know the A2 by Mil-Tec?

    The ad states that it is sold out. Might not be restocked, since Sportsmens sometimes only buys lot shipments, and when they are gone, no more are to be seen.

    Got a vintage coat that came with a few extras. An odor that can kill at 5 paces!

    Norwayman's solution sounds a bit unconventional, but if it works, and the weather cooperates(and you are adventurous) why not give it a try?

    Why the huge disparity between Soviet and German losses on the Eastern front?

    Some really fascinating exchange of knowledge and/or ideas here. One can learn a lot about WW2 by reading such information. Sadly, human nature never seems to evolve into a peace loving attitude, above all else.
