Ah, 27 has been a very good year! I only have 5 more months of it yet!
I just don't get it. You'd think if someone had enough appreciation for military items to risk jail to steal them, they'd have that much respect...
Yeah, the fact that I spend all my time on US actually makes me really interested in the german aspect. I try to learn as much as I can. Plus, I...
Not to be a smart ass, but I found 2 pairs of WWII jump boots at a flea-market for $4 a pair!!! :D Repro boots and uniforms are very easy to...
Oh, and I agree on the war lover. I love the planes, but the story is a little too lovey dovey. Luckily, I like steve mcqueen enough to sit...
Well, you guys convinced me. I'm checking Battle of Britain of from the library tonight!! Incidentily, I own Frank Capra's "battle of britain"...

Yeah, just go for an overseas cap, man. There are tons of those all over the place. Just make sure you find one that either has no piping or has...
"With the Old Breed" by Eugene Sledge is a great first hand combat account. He was, eventually, a corporal. After the war, however, he became an...
I have relatives too numerous to name that were in WWII and other recent wars. I just kind of inherited the interest. That, and when eveyone...
That's really cool, and I've never seen anything like it!!!! The closest I came was seing Hanns Goebbler's (sp?) overseas hat at a convention...
I always kind of thought the, or I suppose maybe I should say "a" turning point in the war was when the Poles / British cracked Enigma. As I...
US reenactors are obsessed with airborne. Every reenactor seems to do airborne, ranger, or Fssf. In all honesty, I'd say people doing airborne...
