Re: Grey visor cap Real or Fake?

Here is Franz Josef Strauss... on the left.
nonetheless a great man of the FRG not the least because he was controversial.
I shall leave it to Ben VK in the UK to identify the man in the middle of the couch in Bonn and the office he held at said time.
I would say it is "Monty".
This is a very intresting thread. In my youth I would have foolishly dismissed many items as "modern rubbish", it is only now I realise that they do have a worth and are now historical items in their own right.
Cheers, Ade.

Dear Friend, you are right, FM Montgomery was Deputy SACEUR at the time. Surely the Bundeswehr and NVA are interesting in their own right, but perhaps not to the average collector of III. Reich material. I tend to see the history of war as a continuum, ergo I embrace this latter period.

yes, super thread; thanks to all, esp. fb, for the images and contributions.
>115 Luftwaffe pilots died in F-104 crashes<
ben - I think these aircraft were dubbed "flying coffins" - tho fb can speak more authoritatively to this I would suspect...
the recruiting posters, as mentioned, were pretty neat; future collectibles if not present ones in some quarters.

I should imagine the same graphic artist did similar things prior to 1945, or was in the same school. For instance, Liska reinvented himself for Daimler Benz with very good results.
This is not a value judgment, mind you, but a historical foot note.
I am very fond of this style of graphic arts.
