It's almost beyond imagination to picture going off to war in such a submarine-but these guys Did it...No one can ever question their courage.

This is a fantastic thread Ade, really interesting. I really do envy you blokes that live in the UK and Europe, all of these places are right there on your doorstep. Thanks for giving us colonials a glimpse of what we can see when we finally get there ourselves.
Re: Our recent trip to Germany: Colditz, Torgau, Dresden Bundeswehr museum, etc.
Great pictures there Ade looks like you had a wonderful time, I really like the Luftwaffe air crew pictures.

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Love the baton insignia on Goring's coat Ade. Indeed, he was a tad flash, but that is just beautiful. Thanks again for sharing these wonderful images from your trip.

Thanks Mo. I should add that is the other half of the case, there was an RAF display to mirror the German kit shown. But I did not take a pic.by AmericanKraut
Thanks to everyone for the comments. The museum is superb.
More to come later tonight.

Heer Grenadier, circa 1944. Note the MP44 ammo pouches.
Now personally, I would have gone with a later pattern tunic and not used the gas cape pouch.
