    Hi Wessex, E,

    Wessex, definately no prob/

    E, those shote are pretty nice for snapshot-size pics. I could have got the rest of them but there were only a few other Flak 88s firing at night pics available and I don't think I bid on them though these were part of the same group as mine were from. A couple of shot are distant so are a bit fuzzy-looking but, these really are some great Flak-Artillerie pics. I think there are even a few pics that show a full Batterie in action (four guns)

    I think if I get enough GOOD award photos as well as Flak and Combat photos, im thinking of loaning some to a couple of Gents I know who have approached me about using some of my pics in a book that is in the works. One book of course will only be on Awards awarded in the field, the other I can't yet say ;-))

    In the months to come, im planning on getting quite a few shots of T-34s and KV-1s knocked out of action and or were captured. And finally, im going to try to get enough great shot of MG-34s in bunkers and pillboxes and such.

    PS, I almost forgot to add that those Flak 88 pics are Army Flak 88s, as I also managed to snag a nice daytime pic of them either in action or preparing to be in action. ;-)) Im not too big on collecting LW pics though I did try for a great shot of a badly damaged Stuka.

    Hi Clint and thank you for getting these three posted for me. These are the three latest wins and I might have a few others coming p in a day or so ;-))

    The first two are the Combat photos. The first shows men assaulting some Russian positions-as well as the second. The third photo though no great but is of something a bit rarer-which shows a frontal view of an Army Flak Truck ;-)) I hav I think 2-3 more and much better views of these trucks that im trying to get ;-))

    Much of the latest pics im trying to concentrate on all have to do with an Army Flak unit. Ill not know much more than the above on them untill I get them in. I do know that these were taken somewhere on the Russain Front and ths unit in particular-was with Army Group Don.
