“DUNKIRK ... Once in a War there was a miracle” (1 Viewer)

[Guest]

I've been looking for some British & Commonwealth figures suitable for the early Greece & Crete campaigns and have been looking more at the FOB series to see if some of them would fit. I'm not an expert on uniforms, but judging from my research thus far some would work well with that period.

Just wondering what other members thought?

At the moment my focus is creating some opposition for some grey K&C FJ's on Crete.

Thanks in advance.

Another in a long line of enjoyable brochures. Looking forward to the film as well. There also looks to be a raft of new books about Dunkirk for pre ordering on Amazon right now .

After Crete, when the FJ's came off of the Island, there was a thought to try to take Malta by another Airborne adventure. The Op never came off, and the FJ's that were to be the nucleus of a combined German-Italian effort were sent to the Libyan Desert to join the Afrika Korps as the Ramcke Brigade.

I'd really like to see that Ramcke Brigade in despatches. Fingers crossed.
