Getting there

[Friedrich-Berthold]

Thank you. I inherited it from my great aunt many years ago. She would be fairly shocked at the things placed on it for these photo shootings, and the objects are not Heidi Klum.

Very nice. You can buy my collection and you will have a lot more foetid woolens. But still a sound start. Well done.

FB if I had the money I would buy your collection in a heart beat and be your faithful servant for the rest of my years buddy.

I had a few drinks with some of my ex-serving friends, she said " This is disgustink, like Cossack ", then some of my other friends joked about my childhood, sent to school (in Australia ,1960-70) in Lederhosen with a piano-accordian, I would come home with loose teeth and a bent nose and Dad would smash me for bringing attention to Germans.

Greimers,
I understand this. I too have had loose teeth for showing pride in my family's service to they're nation. An unfortunate lot of buggers..
F_B: I love your awesome intelligence and articulate info on these foeted woolens.

The table is a work of art, I like quality.

I wonder what the mysterious lady would have thought if I was using her oak china chest?



Cheers, Pat

Scout,

Tatiana has promised to model for you my Holy Grail when I one day obtain it (being an Oberfuhrer Tunic)

To F.B. , you haven't lost the magnetism, she asked me to pass on that you are special and a beautiful man

I actually have to retract my last post, I would not allow someone to dress up in the tunics in my possession, that to me would be disrespectful. There are two friends of my Father , being LAH and Wiking members, still alive. I have asked them over 30 years if they would sell or part with any of their memorabilia. Both have said "what they wore and earnt belong to no others and that when it means nothing more to them it will be burnt or otherwise destroyed". I can actually see their point.

Sorry for using this thread but I cant find where I should post my next two intended points. Keeping it short , I would like to post some photos of German Veterans in retirement. I would also like to share an aspect of my German Grandfather's POW(French captivity) experience
