https://www.napolun.com/mirror/napoleonistyka.atspace.com/Imperial_Guard_at_Waterloo.htm If someone is interested - a good read quite well researched IMHO. The flag so bravely defended by our Guard Grenadiers in their last stand dio limits the possibilities about their unit "somewhere on the...

Awesome painting and good composition -although this last stand never occured the legend is stronger. Cheers Martin

LOL -wasn´t aware that you used ranks at all among comrades - I was with the Paras and we just used our first names within our group... - anyway no biggie.

Inside says: Creation by Nick Dransfield in 120mm "French Volunteer 1793"

Ordered and paid at Dec 24th - received today. Here are some pictures of what you get in addition to Jose`s post. I included a scale comparison in the last picture with the Custer release by Andrea Miniatures in the same scale. Thank you Jose! Cheers, Martin

Hi Erik, nice work. He is obviously in action with the Infantry (white lining around the shoulder flaps and inside the collar boards - in difference to Panzergrenadiers that had applegreen lines as "Waffenfarbe") at the Eastern front - has picked up an MP 40 with one magazin - therefore slung...

Hi Martin, another time it is better to switch to PM. Briefly the title of your History-thread already implies the allegation against the Allies. Oversimplified maps of railroad lines etc seem to give credit to your opinion - not to a proven historical reality. Pointing fingers at the Allies as...

You are suggesting that the Allies for purpose did not drop their bombs on the places you prefer and to support this view you mention that the declaration and telegram were not brought up at Nuremberg. They were obviously not necessary for the verdicts. The rest is speculation. I for my part...

If Josef Saller acted as part of a group or would have been supported by others you would have a point. This wasn`t the case. I had been involved in the "absurd counting method" a while ago and can ensure you that it takes a lot more to get numbers correct than writing down some stupid...

I wonder what is the scale of the map with the railway lines - seems to be so simple to bomb the blue lines. The same goes for the aerial picture of Auschwitz - just bomb the gas chambers - were they mapped out for the pilots in WW II this way or were the "targets" added later on? What would the...

As Police Officer I have a professional interest in topics like these, but another time politics win over facts... I suggest to introduce a dislike-button for political posts on PF. I include the official stats from 2021 publicly available here...

Yes - most probably the picture is staged and suggests that he is firing across a ridge with the bipod in the "defensive position". But there is still the wisenheimer`s textbook way of firing a machinegun and the reality of action and terrain....

It is tempting but futile and misleading to look back on moments in history with our knowledge and political views of today. Even without the "Reptilienfonds" Bismarck still had access to the reparation payments of France after the surrender of 1871. And without Bavaria the German Empire would...

While the Bavarian King was reluctant to become a subject of the German Kaiser his people were not that unhappy to be part of a German Kaiserreich. From Bismarck's view Bavaria was necessary as part of the Kaiserreich due to a vengeful France that had already tried to get Austria and their...

The difference is that the winner of a war never judges his soldiers in the same way than he deals with the defeated and that "freedom fighters" and "terrorists" cannot be identied by their methods to fight a guerilla war. Although the International Criminal Tribunal for Warcrimes in Hague was...

So beside the pictures the story seems to be simple: the Marines were lured into an ambush and took a kind of revenge by assaulting the taxi and the nearby buildings without identifying combattants and non-combattants. And yes - because this is regarded as a warcrime when the...

Please put on those bearskin shoes and carry on with reviews like these - don`t give a s§t about trolls. Cheers, Martin

The "Counsil of the People`s representatives" regarded it as one of his primary duties to legalize the government by elections as soon as possible. The elections were carried out two months later at January 19th 1919 and the majority of the German people did not hang the members of the counsil...

Btw - I wasn't aware that the members of the expedition were so heavily armed. Cheers Martin

To identify a subject, that is ethically undisputed and qualifies for political correct Hobby activities can become a Hobby of it's own.
