WWII Reenacting Discussion Thread
The military did have correspondents, and some were officers, but that was extremely rare as most of them were enlisted. And I know of none who were WACs but it's certainly possible there might have been a couple somewhere I've never heard of (though unlikely as I've made a longterm study of... -
Stateside funerals in the WW2 era?
I just started wondering, how did people get to funerals during WW2 with gas rationing? I assume that hearses got decent gas ration stickers. I'd also assume that most military funerals didn't have anyone playing taps or a 21-gun salute, due to the number of men being buried back then, unless... -
Road signs from the late 30s to WW2 era?
Thanks, I really appreciate that! There are lots of better modelers out there than me, but I am looking forward to getting the scenery done and making it look more than just some trains running along a bare plywood table... Been there several years ago, back when Gary Coleman (from 'Different...- p51

Road signs from the late 30s to WW2 era?
Yeah, I have zero need for social media. I object to the concept in general and seriously don't understand it. If anyone is interested, I have a little info on my layout's concept and progress here.- p51

Road signs from the late 30s to WW2 era?
Yeah, I was so badly hoping to find a Tennessee state speed limit sign, but after several messages to historical societies and even the highway patrol association in TN, I've long since given up as nobody ever labeled their photos, "speed limit sign," making such a search a literal needle in a...- p51

Road signs from the late 30s to WW2 era?
Cool, I never knew stop signs were yellow back in the day, I need to try to find a photo of one. Anything on non-reflector signs? I can't think of any way to accurately model a glass-reflector sign in O (generally, 1/48) scale. I remember years ago seeing a photo somewhere of a sign that had the...- p51

Road signs from the late 30s to WW2 era?
I'm in the process of building my dream model RR layout and I will eventually be looking to make a couple of road signs. I want everything to be as historically correct as possible as the layout will take place in 1943, but I started wondering about road signs back then. I'm assuming that road...- p51

save the Bastogne barrack - WW2 Mac Auliffe's HQ -
Guys, internet petitions are worse than worthless, because they waste badwidth, don't accomplish ANYTHING (nobody in Belgium is going to care what anyone outside their own country thinks about anything) and sidetracks the potential for real efforts from those who thought writing their name... -
Replica WW2 US Visor Caps
I wonder if anyone will ever make a replica of the Navy caps? -
Fury
Sure they would have. By the Fall of 1944, the standards for the draft had been laxed quite a bit, many men who were considered 4F as not fit for service found themselves heading for basic training after all. I know for sure that men just like that character were moved over from other branches... -

Looking for the name of this b/w WW2 movie...
I saw the ending of this movie many years ago. The main character is (I think) a British officer who is posing as a German general. At the end, he's telling Hitler personally that several of his own people are traitors. He escapes from the bunker, apparently going West and is captured by either...- p51
