Reason: Typo
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing he cares more about than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature with no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

Thank you, Mark!
Yes, I think you are right on all counts. Besides, I don't think there are many original wartime BDs around - from what I gathered, most surviving examples are 'best BD blouses' that were mounted at the end of WWII or even much later. So, although this is by no means a battledress worn on D-Day, I am still very happy with it, as it is probably the closest I shall ever get to a genuine wartime one
Regards,
Didier

Yes, plus a BD actually worn on D-Day and in the days afterwards would probably not be a very nice thing to have in your home either

I agree with you Ralph, a GAB would suite the uniform much better but unfortunately my collection lacks one (yet), as soon as I can acquire a nice example she'll be going right on the tunic

My first and only mannequin due to limited space. I bought this to display a complete pilot grouping that has not arrived but I couldn't resist setting up my Schutzpolizei uniform. Everything is correct except for the ribbon bar (the only one I have) and my patent leather service shoes. No shoes but plenty of headgear to try on. I think it looks pretty good though.

Thanks I already tried talking the wifey into adding one more squeezed into the corner for my pilot, she is not amused.
