    family members on the "wrong" side

    My father has written down his story of the war for my two sons (and me) I translated some of the more important details and posted them here some time ago. If any of you are interested in a part of WWII one seldom hear about. The war in the occupied countries, you can read it here...

    family members on the "wrong" side

    I am with you on the intersting family histories, Phantomfixer. Here's one from Denmark: My father was a young man - from a ordinary, conservative family - when the Nazis occupied Denmark. A lot of danes (civil as well as armypersonnel) had signed up to help Finland against the Soviet...

    family members on the "wrong" side

    If you are american, it's obviously a very intersting question. But being from Europe...well....I don't know. 99,9% of our German and Austrian members families were probably on the socalle "wrong side" Chances are that a lot of member families from other occupied (or pro nazi countries) in...

    A-2 jackets -- what constitutes 'authentic' ?

    The only difference between a "accurate repro" and a "real one" is the last one has been flying. The first one has not.;)

    "The Pacific" - can it possibly live up to expectations?

    So it was premier night over here, and I've just seen the first part. I hope it gets better. The characters did not grab me, the story did not grab me, so whats left? I'll give it another chance next sunday - and then we'll see.[huh]

    The story of a pilot

    I have some more information from Lewis on the last day in France from the book: Twelve days in may. I tried to edit them into the origianl story at the top, but it was impossible. So here it is: Monday 20 May, 1940 Lewis flew back to England in one of the only 3 Hurricanes still usable from...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Well - it could be: April 1955. But then on the other hand, if "Str" stands for size, it's kind of strange. Size: April, 1955. ???:eusa_doh: Size 4 could be a internal/military sizesystem - but then 55 sounds strange, since all sizes in Denmark follow the european system: -40-42-44-46-48...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Second picture. It looks like it says Str. If that is right it might be of danish/scandinavian origin. Str. is short for Størrelse (Size). Might be a clue - but what it's been doing in france is still a puzzel.
