Wikipedia Bunds Archives

I'm guessing the Piat is feild testing as well. I've seen # 3 in books too but liked the DAK hat and wanted to share that.
What I also like about these archives is now being able to see the whole series of photos connected to the one or two that we have seen over and over in books-it gives a better feel and more life around the shots we have seen.
For me a special thing is being as I had to sell off my entire book collection I worked on my whole life to amass in 2003( due to poor health /job/ have to keep a roof over my head reasons) there is also the joy of seeing long forgotten images I have not seen in years from books that with today's prices I'll never ever own again...
Great stuff it is.

Amen to that!

Pic #3 kinda looks like Arte Johnson from Laugh-In

These are the ones I thought were great. Amazing pics!

and anybody who wants to deny the holocaust should spend 5 hours looking at some of those pics.

Is it just me or did anyone else notice that Rommel is in one of the pictures posted here. In a FJ uniform. Right? Atleast it looks frightningly a lot like him.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Dammit. Which one??????

 

[Soren]

This one:

Gotta admit that it looks a lot like him right ? But looking at the ears I've got some doubt as to wether it really is him, but then again the helmet straps could affect that. Dunno.

 

[Soren]

The Ritterkreuz is there as-well... only problem is that the ears seem different compared to other photos, so it probably isn't him afterall. Looks a lot like him though.

 

[vikingBerserker]

That's tough. If it's not him , it could be a relative.

This car looks like a mid 30s Cadillac or Buick. Anybody an expert on hood ornaments?

 

[Soren]

Yup, it's a Cadillac, a 1937's model according to this chart:

Great chart. I looked rather briefly on the internet and couldn't find anything. That was a time when American cars meant something, before incompetent mangers and greedy union workers. We have a great museum here in the LA area called the Nethercutt museum that has a lot of classic auto items, in addition to cars. They probably have this item. By the way, it is free and very impressive. Great thanks to all the women who buy Merle Norman cosmetics.

Looks like they removed the link and pages.

Looks like they removed the link and pages.

I wonder why ?
(I couldn't find the pages either.)

Just enter for example "Bundesarchiv Deutschland" (minus the "") in the search field.
I tried "Bundesarchiv Deutschland 1941 Luftwaffe".
