    that's A4 right ? so it would be just too small, but a good digital camera should do the job.


    Opana: here's a try with my camera: looks pretty decent hein?

    Looks good! I would add a CPL filter to kill the reflections from the lights. Do you have a PDF program?

    think originals in the German/French are rare in the States not in Europe Skip. as I mentioned earlier about the separate militray branch issues they are even more so what we or I have found in the States through freinds have not been in the best condition. There is a firm on epier taht is selling the KM issues nearly all of them one by one, I for one broke down and purchased one copy which ws very clean from them, so yes still available along with some of the major city news/war propaganda papers listing of someof the local soldiers through good pics and their escapades. One has to search but they are for sale on on-line militaria sites....

    A few more details. Issues were usually every two weeks and they start again with number one each year. (23-24 numbers each year).

    This is great A3 format colour picture of men in a dinghy. Check out the colour stain in water which is a Farbebeutel and the airpump inside the dinghy. I have both items in my collection too.

    Looks almost like a scene from "In Which We Serve". Great shot.

    More to come for you lads!

    I found six more Signal Magazines at a flea market.

    This pictures is just truly amazing. Dutch troops in 1940? French troops in 1940? Naaah, Rumanian troops during Operation Barbarossa next to Sebastopol in 1941 and wearing Dutch and French Adrian M-16 Helmets. I knew the Romanians had French helmets during WWI but this is the first time I hear of them still wearing them on the Ostfront in 1941. Quite a surprise isn't it?
