1930's Pinstripe Peak Lapel Jacket with Issues Size 40R/42R
IMO too good to be taken for a pattern... (read: taking APART for a pattern). Still wearable with a few mends... too bad the halfbelt has been removed.- Fastuni

Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!
An early 1950's East German trenchcoat "Wetterlin". Super-lightweight... could be cotton, but possibly cellulose. Buttons galore. Looks like a multi-eyed spider... probably appropriate for some StaSi agent. :p It is meant for a size 38 and will go to a friend who collects East German stuff.- Fastuni

Question About German Rationing during WWII
Not that I know of... I guess you have to search around the web. Maybe there is English-language literature you could get at a library or glimpse into via Google books. -
German & Austrian Hutmachers
O. F. Hess, was as of 1913 also a "Hoflieferant" (purveyor) to the court of the Habsburg empire. The owner was a certain Karl Missik (Karel Misik in Czech spelling) by then. The house number in the Zizka-street was 11. From the snippets visible from Google books, it seems that in 1914... -

Question About German Rationing during WWII
Not true. Germany did institute rationing (coupons) for food and fuel on August 28, 1939. Clothing coupons were introduced in November 1939. What is true is that until 1942 the rations for the Reich and the Protectorate Bohemia & Moravia (the latter was doing quite well during the war... -

Fury
If the Axis had been winning and occupied Britain or the US, would these Allied soldiers also think that they should surrender quickly instead of resisting to the bitter end, taking as many enemy invaders to the grave as possible? Did they consider the Polish/French/Soviet/Chinese etc. soldiers... -
Fury
That's pertaining to non-Germans in the Waffen-SS. Ethnic Germans (Volksdeutsche) - mostly hapless farmer boys - from occupied Eastern Europe, particularly the Balkans, but also from Axis states like Hungary and Romania, were regularly conscripted into the Waffen-SS. Indeed the Waffen-SS had... -

Patton leads German troops against USSR?
Not every staunch anti-Soviet/anti-Stalinist in Europe was a fascist. Far from it. Also those Eastern Europeans fighting the Soviets in collaboration with the Germans, not always did so because of pro-Nazi or pro-German feelings. Case in point the Russian "Wlassow-Army". And one has to...
