    Hi!

    I am an adult male living in Norway, who started to collect German awards WWII for about 2 years ago. In addition, supplemented with some helmets, daggers, bayonets etc.
    Otherwise I am interested in history (Ancient and WWII). My father was a resistance fighter (Milorg) during the war, and my interest in WWII came when I got some German effects he had taken care of. He is still alive :eek: but will not talk about what he experienced these years (1940-45). I also got some Norwegian and an English medal he was awarded after the war. Will eventually post some pictures from my collection.

    I`m going to spend much time on this forum to seek more knowledge. After only having collected in 2 years I have probably not so much to contribute (but I will try)

    Regards from Norway

    Hi!
    Thanks for the warm welcome.

    I have several times tried to start a thread with pictures of my collection, but can not upload pictures. My photos are JPEG and less than 250 kb and max 800 x 800. Upload stops and I get error message 403 Error Event Type.

    Anybody have a suggestion for solution :confused:

    Greetings from Norway

    Try this:
    1. Click on the Add image icon
    2. In the window that opens, highlight From Computer, then choose Basic Uploader (in the lower right corner)
    3. Browse for the image you want
    4. Choose Upload

    That should work.

    Thank you C.E.
    I do not think so, but you may have seen pictures of my collection on WAF or GCA as Norsk41elv ?
