    German Imperial Schirmmützen - Which would you go for?

    Are these the ones on Regimentals? I believe both to be OK. Very good condition. Either would be a good addition to a collection. Mike

    WWI German Soldiers

    Saxonia militaria

    Yes, I have also bought a couple nice items from Saxonia. My major issue...he is difficult to get hold of. I understand his day job keeps him on the road as an engineer. Best, Mike

    Thomas Weber's "Hitler's First War"

    I found Weber's book on Hitler to be of much interest. Unlike other authors he delves into the specifics of Hitler's wartime service.
