One thing.....In the waffen ss they didn't call an officier " sir". The waffen ss was a kind of "army of the people", with equality between the officiers and the low ranks, opposite to the wehrmacht in which was a distance between them and the aristocratic titles made that ex. a colonel was called " baron" by his men.So no formalities at all between officiers and privates,they could even tutoyer.... Sometimes, in the waffen ss, a chief could be a simple non-comissioned officer, sometimes elected by the troops because of his braveness.

Below is my write out on tank crews taken from a e-book....

In the system-specific allotment if duties, each member of the crew is dependent on the other for all to survive a tank duel together. During operations, the crew lives in and with the tank, not only during combat, but also before and after.







Here are the close-ups of these figures.......

A US$1.50 statute, made of resin and is heavy (a gift from a friend) - he bought from a Japanese $2 store... works well with my Egyptian pieces I must say {sm4}

PS: Actual height of the statute as pictured with the KnC pieces - not scaled up at all

My favourite piece from K&C have both the desert (AK) and grey (FOB). With its 5 man crew its a real beast.

As a new collector it took some hard work to locate and get them but well worthwhile.

This is one of of those threads that I continue to enjoy whenever you post new images. The quality of your images is amazing and your pieces are always diverse. Love that previous DAK Panzer #4 set. Unfortunately I missed out on it being an older item.

Just wanted to clarify regarding the LOADER's duties as related to the Turret Machine Gun:

- as LOADER, he would load the gun and clear any jams..
- however, since it's a co-axial machine gun, wouldn't the GUNNER actually aim and fire this weapon?

just seems to make more sense..

Nice picture! Thanks for sharing. I've always been fond of this set. The medic about to be sent off to a camp somewhere in the Soviet Union and the SS soldier about to be "dealt with" by a mean looking Soviet officer and soldier.

Cheers,

Brendan
