Pass the cucumber sandwiches please.

Speculation huh? I reckon more armour for the 8th Army. They are desperately short at the moment. I thnk they need a Grant and a Crusader to get a bit more even.

James,

I checked and the Thule Society contributed the swastika. This society was founded towards the end of World War I, just as the German revolution was beginning. It was an anti-semitic pan-german sect that was named after the supposed location of ultimate Aryan purity, Iceland, and used the swastika to denote its racial priorities.

What was interesting about the Thule Society is that it contained several members who were to be prominent in the Nazi Party such as Hans Frank, Rudolf Hess, Alfred Rosenberg and Dietrich Eckart. One of its newspapers, the Volkischer Beobachter (the Racial Observer), was eventually purchased by the Nazi Party. It was from this society that a member made contact with Anton Drexler, who founded the Nazi Party. So, this group was quite influential in the formation of the Nazi Party.

Thanks for the info Brad. I knew the swastika was used in hinduism and buddhism but I hadn't heard of the Thule Society before. That makes things a bit clearer on why they adopted it as their symbol.

Speculation anyone??? More tea vicar....... LOL

Easy one. It's got to be AK FJs, which could also be used for a Sicily / Italy range.

Earl Grey please. In bone china if you'd be so good.

I'm guessing based on the photos of Rommel's Storch - perhaps a whole Rommel vignette in the making!

Hi Guys,



Re my response to John’s plaintive plea...“Well, actually it’s not all I have planned for North Africa in 2007 but...it’s all I’m going to tell you about at this moment in time!”

Now, that’s not me or K&C being coy or clever it’s just good, common business sense. As most of you know even the best laid plans can, due to circumstances, (seen as well as unseen) be changed, altered or even dropped.


Over the years I’ve seen companies (including K&C) sometimes promise too much...and then have to disappoint their collectors when such and such an item fails to appear or turns up later than expected.

It’s better, sometimes, to shut up and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt!

Best New Year wishes and...happy collecting!

Your point is well taken. I still would have like for you to have made a Sturmtiger, even if you didn't like them. But I don't get all I want anyway and I've liked 90% of your stuff. So no big deal just keep up the great work.
