Whilst we are on the subject, you remember me telling you that my father was doing a Volkssturm impression, he has got his kit together and will be giving it its premier this weekend. He is going for the 'old soldier' look, a VERY tattered tunic and trousers, boots, civilian putties with a civilian belt, ammo pouch, tornister on y-straps with a greatcoat wrapped around it. He has an SA breadbag and a bottle, all of this is topped off with a tatty old civilian hat and an arm band. I will show you a couple of photos as soon as I get them, it looks the business.
