Here's a couple of Windbluse at the Gebirgstruppen Museum in Sonthofen, Germany:

Here are a few 1:1 scale Gebirgsjäger Windblusen from my collection for color reference: Drei mal Horrido! Patrick

Bonjour Zastrow, Last time I checked all my military history reference books, the Germans lost the naval battle but won their overall objective of holding and occupying Norway thus securing their iron ore supply. The Germans had about 5000 troops at Narvik, where as the Allied forces of...

Why W-SS???????? Great looking figure....will have to convert mine to the more elite Heer (army) Gebirgsjäger who actually operated in high Alpine regions in Russia, Italy, and France. Looks to have captured excellent details of the Windbluse (the Army issue 3-chest pocket anorak), along with...

Guess I need to try Geno's next time I'm in Philly! (y) Ciao, Patrick

Awesome work and great character! The Royal Navy Leading Seaman patch is a navy blue anchor on white background. I can't tell what color you painted the anchor from the photos.

Excellent work. My only criticism is on your thread title....he's an Army Tank Commander (Army insignia and Army splinter camo)...not Waffen-SS. Panzers vor! Patrick

Drei mal Horrido! Excellent work! Bergheil, Patrick

Here are the original books that they came from....Army Uniforms (1973) and Naval, Marine and Air Force Uniforms (1975). These were some of my earliest references for painting military miniatures during that time period.

Greetings Edward, I use to work with Max & Otto when I lived in Munich back in the 1980's. I may have the Zeppelin commander somewhere in my grey army. Will poke around and see if I can find him. Cheers, Patrick

Berg Heil und drei mal Horrido! Awesome rendition of RM Gebirgsjäger figure.

Servus Nap, Hurra die Gams! Excellent rendition of "Papa" Ringel. You deserve the Iron Cross for your efforts! ;) Drei mal Horrido! Patrick

Grüß Di' Sturm Grenadier, The box under his left arm is a Geballte Ladung 3 kg (3 kg demolition charge), normally used by Pioniere (combat engineers). Here's a site with photos and dimensions: http://www.lexpev.nl/minesandcharges/europe/germany/3kgsprengbuechse.html And a nice .pdf about...

Grüß Di' Evgeny, Excellent looking 'Alte Hase' (old hare = veteran). I have a couple of issues with his rank(s). You have two different ranks on this soldier. Is he a Sergeant (with the silver tresse around the collar and shoulder boards or is he a Gefreiter (corporal) with the sleeve chevron...

Grüß Gott Myeong-Ha, Drei mal Horrido! Even with the minor inaccuracies on the original figure, you've done fantastic painting and weathering on this Gebirgsjäger! Berg Heil, Patrick

Grüß Di' Carl, Looking forward to getting this figure! Glad that I could help a little with some reference material. If you're ever interested in doing some more Gebirgsjägers, just let me know and I can provide you with all the references you need. Bergheil und Horrido! Patrick

Grüß Di' Carl, Excellent looking bust and fantastic face! Nice work on the Windjacke and the Bergmütze. It's always good to see a new Gebirgsjäger on the market. Unfortunately, as others have noted, some of the equipment details are lacking. The standard issue German Army KAR 98 ammo pouch...
