Thanks for adding me

Hi Everyone
I recently retired and am interested in family history and living history. I thought it about time I find out more about my wife's uncle who served in the German army in WW2. I'm interested to get a general overview of what thing were like for him eg what his uniform was, items he would have carried, the sort of general day to day daily living as a Gefreiter. I'd be interested in getting cap badges collar insignias and belts. and that sort of memorabilia.

I'm sure i'll ask all sorts of questions but I will go through the posts I think may help me first. I'll also be able to post a few pictures of Gefr Benning. We've just been to see his grave in Sedan, France which was surprisingly moving.

Best wishes
