I'll also have a few fibreglass M35 and Fallschirmjager helmets made by then, should anyone be struggling for a helmet.

PM me if you want any of my kit.

As discussed, Craig, David can borrow the following from me:
Sidecap (SS or Heer)
Tunic (wool Heer M42 or M36, or wool SS M40 and/or Dot 44 tunic)
Trousers (M42 Feldgrau with braces)
Belt and buckle (Heer or SS)
Green gaiters

Depending on whether someone else is borrowing stuff, you probably won't have a breadbag or water bottle, but you can have gas mask cannister, Y-straps, spade and bayonet.

Thanks Steiner. Now just Lipton's to find.

Is Luftwaffe OK for this? I take it if SS is, then...

Hey, if not I'll wear my Heer kit, even though it now has more rips and holes than buttons...

(of course, it'll take me a few days to sort money etc, and get the time off).

I haven't quite decided what I want to wear yet but I should have at least 2 tunics (1 heer, 1 SS-size 42), a helmet (size 58/59), SS smock & helmet cover, belt and y-straps, SS belt buckle, breadbag, MP40 pouches and SS sidecap available to borrow for this if anyone is short on kit. I also have some size 9 1/2 jackboots I'm not going to be using but I prefer not to lend out boots unless absolutely necessary.

To lend:

M44 Tunic - SS badged 40" chest
M43 Keilhose - 34" waist (can pull down by 2" or so) plus braces and or belt
Cap - SS badged - Size 58
Waffen SS buckle & Belt - Medium/Large
Straight E-tool and carrier
Plane Tree Smock - Size Large (goes over 40 to 44" tunic)
Plane Tree Helmet cover

Usual "you bend it, you mend it" rules apply!

Kermit, I think I'll have to bagsy that lot (again)!

No idea if of use, but my kit would fit Lipton and I'm not going depends how he feels borrowing kit of a gurl and if theres some way of lending it to him If someone else can help would be easier, but if he gets stuck let me know

That would be great Helga. Lipton has no problem wearing women's clothes (insert joke here).

thinking of the how, one plan was 'we can all go on a day-trip to York (which I think I remembered was near where you are), but then I realised me and thee are at Crich aren't we, so we could do the lending there?

sorted lipton lady cloth wearer of the future it is did I mention it was the helferin outfit ? just kidding, heer kit (does he need shirt/gaitors)?

Shirt = Yeah if you've got one.

Gaitors = he has jackboots so OK for them.

Cheers.

Ok progress y-straps? belt? bread bag? mag pouches? mind I've only got MP40 ones

yup, yup, yup, yup if poss. He has nothing so needs everything, Unless something is superfluous but we should leave that in your knowledgeable hands really.

I have pretty much everything for another spare German loadout, if you know someone who wants to come but has no kit:

HBT trousers and tunic
M35 helmet
Belt
Gaiters
Gas mask cannister

Dont suppose anyone has a spare pup tent I could borrow or something that will satisfy the no nylon tent requirement?

Yes, no problem - CiA have free loan tents available.
