Last week, I was again on a quick 2 days tour in Normandy with five officers from New Zeland. The weather was so crazy that I didn’t even shot a photo but, on my way back, I visited a friend (farmer) and got again (almost as usual) War Relics.

Should you wanting to get US Army WW-2 Helmets M-1 or M-2 (I don’t deal with M-1C) you can now re-order them right on my website as I have worked with the manufacturer of these original but refurbished helmets in the past (2001-2006) and I have decided to re-start this business because lot of Museums all around the Globe are still searching for helmets.
Si vous avez l’intention de faire l’acquisition de casques US M-1 et/ou M-2, je ne joue pas avec le M-1C, vous pouvez désormais passer par EUCMH. J’ai pendant les années 2001-2006 vendu pas mal de casques et sous-casque pour le fabricant puis j’avais arrêté. Comme la demande semble reprendre j’envisage désormais de recommencer ce business d’autant plus que le fabricant est désormais en Australie, ce qui augmente considérablement les frais de port.
Voici quelques exemples de réalisation en M-1 et M-2.

The origin of the parachute dates back many years. The first record of its use was described by a passenger of a burning balloon, who made a successful escape by parachute in July 1908. However, the parachute was considered only as an exhibition item for many years and was only seen at county fairs and carnivals. In the fall of 1916 an Austrian pilot on the Russian front made a parachute jump from a burning plane, the first practical application of the parachute to military requirements. The possibility of transporting troops and supplies by air and landing at points behind enemy lines was conceived by Gen “Billy” Mitchell in the First World War. Mitchell planned such an operation for our 1919 campaign. British Handley Page airplanes were to be used in the operation, but the fighting was ended before the plan could be tried out.

While sorting images on CDs I’ve found these old photos from an original World War Two Waffen SS Wehrpass (Identity Booklet) that I have sent to one ’she’ American Collector, Linda in California some years ago. (Hello Linnie)
This is not – for sure – a quit breathing Militaria Item but this could be interesting (at leats I hope) for the large part of the New German Militaria Collectors that (it’s so damn usual) prefer to buy craps and fakes as books to learn about what they are willing to collect and invest money in.
This item was bough from Markus in Germany (linked to one of the best Militaria Auctions Site) is an original intem and could – or course – be used to be compared to a fakes one. You can even copy the photo for your site if you want.
So if you want to invest your money in something better than a bank and jump over into Militaria be sure to start this by learning about Militaria and there is no other way than books on Militaria.
Another sentence you should never forget is the following (especially in the Militaria Market) Every Morning on this Planet, an Idiot wakes up.

At the beginning of 1938, Dornier issued manufacturing specification #1323, recognizing the need for a twin-engine bomber or long-range reconnaissance aircraft powered by Daimler-Benz DB 601B engines. Dornier recognized shortcomings of its fast Do 17 well before the war. With Junkers’ new prototype, the Junkers Ju 88, being superior to the Do 17 in every way, Dornier designed a new bomber to meet a requirement from the RLM for a larger and more versatile bomber than the Do 17, capable of both level and dive bombing. One of the most versatile and useful bomber designs the Germans put into production after the war started, the Dornier Do 217 remedied the shortcomings of the Do 17 while greatly advancing the design in all areas.
Superficially a scaled up Do 215, and initially powered by the same engines, the Do 217 was actually considerably larger and totally different in detailed design. The first prototype (the Do 217 V1) flew on 4 October 1938, but crashed seven days later during a single engine flying test. It was found to be underpowered and was unmaneuvrable when compared with contemporary bombers. Instability was a problem at first, but modifications such as fixed slats along the leading edges of the vertical fins helped to improve flight stability.
