Schoolboy German + Online Translators - bags a goodun lol
if you can get around the language barrier (altavista is great 
) then theres loads of goodies dashed all over the net not just on ebay but many of the Militaria shops in other countries 
. I frequently browse ebay Italy, France (not such a problem as I can sorta speak the language) Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium and occasionally ebay Sweeden (think its relatively new

). Can tell am a housewife huh far too much time on my hands
