Hi Folks! I just wanted to say that, last Tuesday, after picking up my wife from the airport, I came home to find a package for me. Seeing my name, I didn't bother to read the sender's name, since I was expecting other packages on which I had frittered away my money. So, I turned the package on its ...

Hi,

As many of you know, Pz. A.A. 20 of the 20th Panzer Division, received 16 234/2 (Pumas) for its Stab Kompanie in mid-1944. My question is simple, how many Pumas were in a Platoon (Zug) in that particular Aufklarungs Abteilung?

Yes Ibrahim, I believe that this is the one. Sorry I couldn't help.

It might be the dust cover Ibrahim, mine lacks one. The book I have is bound in green and has the Divisional sign, a double cross on the cover, underneath which is the inscription "TAPFER UND TREU". The side inscription is simply "DER WEG DER 79. INFANTERIE-DIVISION 1939-1945". H...

Gee, have I been gone that long?

Hi,

Podzun-Verlag put out a small photo book called "Der Weg Der 79. Infanterie Division" It's 222 pages and I have a copy. It is in German, but I will be happy to answer specific questions about the division--if the answer is in the book.

Hi, this formation was attached to the 4th Panzer Division of 2nd Army in early 1945 during the fighting in Western Prussia. I have a knowledge of some of its equipent and the dates of its attachment to 4th Pz. as well as some information on its movements. What I don't understand is: Where did this ...

Hi Guys, I just received the Kagero book in the mail last night. I haven't had the chance to really examine it, but on first look, it is definitely a different work than the AJ Press book. Either way, it looks like both the A.J. Press book amd the Kagero book are useful supplements to Remp's hardcov...

Hi Folks, I'm aware that this question more pproperly belongs in the "Weapons and Equipment" section. But, as it was a rare vehicle, I thought that more people would view the question here than in that sub-forum. Anyway, the VK601 was a development of the old Pz.1. It entered service as th...

Hi! Well, it's all a matter of range, rate of fire and hitting power. Your average MG lacked those three ingredients to make it a consistent AA gun, the caliber of its bullet was too small--7.92mm. By comparison, the American .50 cal. fired a 12.7 mm. shell and four of them were mounted on halftrack...

then the Amazon company auto populates the other sites (.com etc) but with the default of 'Out of Print--Limited Availability' which is false. Interesting default my friend! The world, unfortunately, is about money--even if the writer receives so little of it..... :down: :down: :down: Thanks for th...
