Step in Green or Splinter B are both perfectly correct for Kreta. Kine Problem!!! 
I wanted to wear and have just purchased Lufti tropical trousers for this one. 
Unfortunately all the pics showing this rig were apparently taken much later, after the initial battle. All the lads jumped in their wool jump trousers. 
Hey Ho!!!
Sorry Sgt.Heide but I agree with the other chaps, Taking fashion is such fun. 
Chappy.
Hitler was a better dancer than Churchill, he was a better skater than Churchill . . .
Yes there were no LW tropicals worn in the invasion of Crete, they weren't issued until afterwards. I don't even think any Heer tropicals were used by the GJ as issue priority was given to the DAK.
Nope, no German tropical uniform items durring the assault. You see a lot of tropical looking shorts and some pith helmets about after day 1, but they were looted from the Brits.
I spotted in the kit lending thread mention of lending a helmet cover to cover a late pattern camo job on a falshy helmet. I take it then that you would prefer me to cover my lid, seen here:
with a cover like this from spearhead (I will be wearing a green step in on the day)
The spearhead cover is £16.52 are there any UK vendors doing this? I may have a go at making one out of the legs I am cutting off my duth coveralls 
Thanks

I've got a nice splinter cover I can lend you mate, I reckon its a good look mixed with a plain smock.

Thanks for the offer Boshman but I have fancied getting a cover for a while and this is a good excuse. I also like the idea of a splinter cover instead of a plain green one

Hi mate, any chance I can borrow that? I have an Indian 71cm shell and the Spearhead covers are (or were last year) too small for my helmet.
I am going to speak to RAU, but I think he gets his covers from Lyndon anyway 
Cheers

Can All FJ Please bring a scarf it doesn`t have to be part of your kit but YOU WILL need a scarf.
You will find out on the day why

armoury
m1a1 Thompson,sten mk2,mp40,stg44,sterling,mk2 bren gun,lee Enfield no4 mk1,Mauser Kar98, Walther ppk,smith and Weston m10 and Mauser m712
Give me a big enough hammer and a place to stand and I could fix the world.
i'll kill a man in a fair fight or if i think he's going to start a fair fight or over a woman or.......
a problem shared is a problem halved ,but an advantage shared is no advantage at all
if a job's not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well
are we talking polka dot silk scarf or a woolly scarf of some sort?
For FJ this sort of thing should fit the bill...

Well if it's for blindfolds, I don't want the pink one. There might be a firing squad and I wouldn't be seen dead in pink. 
Hitler was a better dancer than Churchill, he was a better skater than Churchill . . .

Not what Ive heard
