Re: SS Kratzchen
Very nice painting of the Bf 109. I have a great soft spot fro the Luftwaffe for personal reasons that I won't examine here.
Thanks for the kind words about my collection, which, itself, is as irrational as possible.
I wonder what these caps actually sell for in real life, which transpires beyond my seven sins, that is for certain. I know what I have paid, but always think I have over done it....
The pictures are inherently more valuable than the junk, and most valuable in my experience are the persons who actually flew and still fly, who are my friends and compatriots.

Re: SS Kratzchen
Oxidation and time is all it takes, much like what happened to Ludendorff.
Can someone please post an original SS Kratzchen as to put an end to my ramblings!?

Re: SS Kratzchen
I second Ben's wish to see a real SS Kraetzchen that can withstand the pitiless scrutiny of the sites.
Thanks to others for their constructive help with this issue.
The photos of the SS Politische Bereitschaften and the grey caps with the peak are especially significant.

Re: SS Kratzchen
The caps in the Mollo illustrations plainly are identical in form to those of the old army, i.e. they are floppy and without a rigid structure, as one would expect based on the Rw and old armies prototypes.
Who can find the howler of an error in the image of the Zossen troops with their soup bowls?
All the same, I still think the Mollo books are the basis of all our thinking about these things, even if they are now old works. I met him in London in 1971, as a matter of fact.

Well, I'm not sure what 11th "Coy" means...
