    Was H&A closed?

    Yes they are! Some of the H&A products are being offered to dealers along with the Britains inventory. Here at Treefrog Treasures we are keeping items on our website which are in the new Britains/H&A catalog. The factory is not in that catalog.

    Sabaton - Metal Music - Military History Themes

    And the next song on the album is a bit more mellow...nothing like a metal ballad! Battle of Bull Leslie “Bull” Allen was an Australian stretcher bearer who served in the pacific, and his actions on mount Tambu in New Guinea is something quite extraordinary. During one day at the front he ran...

    Logging In Issues

    I'm trying to find the common denominator to those not able to get onto the forum. Is it just the forum...or the main Treefrog site too? Is it a UK issue? Perhaps there is one provider doing something funky? Most people having problems seem to be on that side of the pond. Is it a certain...

    I'm having them reboot our server at 5 CST. Hopefully it'll only be down for a few minutes. Not sure if it will help, but it can't hurt!

    Sabaton - Metal Music - Military History Themes

    The next song on the album: To Hell And Back This is the story of Audie Murphy, the most decorated US soldier in WW2. There are simply too many stories about his deeds to even try to cover them in such a short text, but among his fellow soldiers he was truly a hero and a great inspiration...

    Smoking Snakes Most of us have heard the expression “when pigs fly” but in a different part of the world another popular saying was that “It’s more likely for a snake to smoke a pipe than for the Brazilian expeditionary force to go to the front and fight” in the same context.

    Witold Pilecki - Volunteered to go INTO Auschwitz!!

    On my Sabaton thread (exploring their heavy metal music with military themes) I just posted the song 'Inmate 4859,' which is about Witold Pikecki, I'd never heard of Witold, so I did a bit of research to track him down. What...a...story! Witold got wrapped in WWI in Poland, and in WWII his...

    I'm going to skip ahead a bit, because this next song's subject matter caught my attention. Inmate 4859 In September 1940 the Polish soldier Witold Pilecki used faked identity documents to be arrested and sent to Auschwitz, which he planned to infiltrate and destroy from within. Boldly...

    The next song on the Heroes album is 'No Bullets Fly.' The story of Franz Stigler, a German pilot who risked his life in three different ways when he was ordered to chase and shoot down an American B17 bomber, piloted by 2nd Lt. Charlie Brown, returning from a successful air raid. When he came...
