Oldsweat is the german in that pic... though chomley's kit is just as good... they both really look the part!
Indeed, that's Oldsweat - it's very unlikely that I would allow myself to be captured....
(I took the photo BTW
)

And here's Anne and me, at the other end of the kit scale.
List of things to do -
Helmets need to be painted olive drab.
Braces required plus other bits and bobs.
Sew on Anne's 101st patch.
Otherwise we're good to go!
Not sure if the BAR belts are right but they're big enough for M14 magazines.
Good stuff - we will have to get you dirtied up a bit, look forward to a bit of fox hole digging and sandbag filling on the 17th!
[Your cat doens't seem to be impressed though - ever noticed that cats don't take the blindest notice of what their owners wear? I returned home at 3am this morning afer a night game with a completely blacked up face and didn't even get a second look from puss.
]

I'd better sew some stripes on so I'm not the one doing the digging.
Actually we're looking forward to getting them dirty, this will be the first outing for our WWII kit.
And our cat's disappeared again now she's been fed.
looking good, and nice to see that other us players wont all be carrying thompsons (like me and my mates)
ive stopped washing my ww2 gear, getting reay for december.
if that top mp 40 had been any good, id nevrer have bought US gear , i would have been german right fromm the start
