NEW THIS WEEK – MONDAY 13 SEPTEMBER 2010

Hi there and welcome to what’s new on Miliblog this week. As mentioned last week, our Eastern Front Collection is still very popular with you, my fellow enthusiasts. Over the years I’ve collection many of these wartime photos and I’ve found it’s always been easier to find photos of German troops rather than photos of Allied forces. Have any of you found the same ?

So we have five sample photos to share with you, starting with a brilliant photo of an Opel staff car being pushed out of the mud. Another example of the conditions endured.

Eastern Front Collection No 1510

 Now just look at the next photo of a column of German troops marshing along to the front line. Judging from the undone collars, it looks like a warm summer’s day which contradicts many of the winter photos we have in the Collection.

Eastern Front Collection No 1523

Featured in our following photo below is a nice shot of a German gun emplacement with a 105mm howitzer. A great photo for the modellers amongst us or even the re-enactors.  

Eastern Front Collection No 1530

A nice photo of a snowy German MG-34 machine gun crew, looking pretty serious.

Eastern Front Collection No 1543

Our final sample shows a very happy German soldier splashing around in the mud.

Eastern Front Collection No 1544

So we’ll get back to the trusty scanner and add some more brilliant photos for you to see.

Cheerio !
