The 1930 ending was akin to the book - Baumer collected butterflies. The 1979 version does show the Kaiser's review of the troops, as described in the text. The author, Erich Maria Remarque, actually participated in such a review while doing his stint in the War. There's a great march in that...

I agree. While benefiting from technical advancements made over the course of 40-some years, the later version lacks the impact of the original Playing the role of Paul Baumer so impressed Lew Ayres that he became a conscientious objector at the start of WW2.

James, The helmet is only on hold & still can be purchased, I think ?? The condition of the leather looks remarkable for it's age !!! Could this be due, in part, to the fact that the Bavarians used better quality leather??

Gustaf, Please accept my deepest apologies !!! Your humor seems quite "biting" @ times, but from now on I'll accept this with no problem. Well, as long as you allow me to retort with some of my own !!! One of the problems with email is that all you receive is the sender's monologue, not his/her...

Please look @ the BAVARIAN MODEL 1873/1886 Mounted EM Pickelhaube as listed under the Age of Kings website. Any opinions ???? Thanks, RRH

"moderately" humorous,as usual, Zaphod, or whatever your hormones dictate you shuld become this day. When your done making mental farts born out of insecurity, lack of education &/or sheer ignorance, prehaps you could, for once, contribute positively to any one of the topics listed. That is...

Thanks for the welcome !!! I'm still feeling my way around the site, but it's easy to use. Those with whom I've conversed are witty, knowledgable, & helpful indeed !!!! Joe Robinson suggested I join the Forum - glad I did !!! Thanks again !!!! RRH

Sorry, I didn't see your topic & started a new one !! Yes, in my opinion, it's the best account of the Great War since the CBS series of 1964-65, and probably even better. I'm fascinated by the mobile war on the Eastern Front, of which there's spectacular footage. Didn't know that gas warfare...

Has anyone been watching the "First World War" series on the military channel? For me, it's the best account of the Great War since the CBS version of 1964-65 (I know that's probably before your time, in many cases, but is has been replayed from time to time). The footage of the war on the...

Joe Rookery may have some of the pictures I sent him early last year. This too, had a plume - a white plume to be exact. As I read more & more about it(using Stubbs as a resource) I began to see, & sure as hell didn't want to see, that this wench knew nothing about helmets, kugelspitze, wappens...

Good pun, indeed !!! Owing to the fact that the new & improved iron_cross_bunker, formerly dubai61, formerly [email protected] can't get a response - most of the time, that is. I purchased my very first helmet from this guy, rather his daughter, for a cost of 2300 USD !! I should have said...
