Anybody got a Bristol Hercules overhaul or parts manual in PDF.

Generaloberst Paul Hausser for me. Often overlooked. I like him best best because he stood up to Hitlers absurd and constant no withdrawal policy where ever he went.

Hi all... I am posting this thread as there seems to be a gap in the literature regarding AAF Officers uniforms that are missing Qualification - Wing Badges. There seems to be a lot of old officers uniforms that are missing their wings badges and I was wondering why this is the case. Many...
