Just got back last night from a week in Germany with my client KMW.

Great Trip - a few days in Corporate HQ in MUNICH and then off to the main production plant in KASSEL - (this is where WEGMANN - the "W" in KMW made TIGER and PANZER Tank Turrets.)

Interesting thing for our British Lads - it seems on of the large production halls is called "Englander Hall" - when the British reached Kassel with the Americans - they had control of the occupation over the KMW Plant part of town. They also had all the production machines broke down and shipped off to England. One of the old production line workers told me - "the english didn't bomb Wegmann in the weeks leading up to the Battle of Bulge - they knew they were going to get their hands on our plant - so no bombs dropped - and you got our NEW KING TIGER's !

Anyway - great time meeting the German Production team.

Here are pics of what I really did ...

Cheers Ron, and you just had to spill the beans on the new Honour Bound range - Beer Steins - who'd have thought it

You guys are on to us...

But it's not STEINS...HB has opened their own brewery

Would you care for a Ramcke Pilsner or a Wehrmacht Stout?

Maybe if we throw in a free 6 pack with each figure set it'll be a hit

Ron - we need more intel on that brew in your hands.

He wouldn't have had that cigar in his mouth for long in any Aussie pub as smoking in public areas here is strictly verboten.

A liter is the German Pint. I have a few of these mugs. They are bottomless (sort of).
