WWII German Third Reich Era (1933-1945)
The items on this Site are collected for historical reasons only and do not support or condone any past, present or future ideologies that they may represent. If you are sensitive to images of items from the German Third Reich era, I respectfully ask that you exit from this web site.
All of the militaria items found on this Site are from the Second World War. Unless noted, these original items are from my personal collection and are from the German Third Reich era from the years 1933-1945. My collection is small when compared to the collections of other people, but those of us in this hobby have to start somewhere. I hope you enjoy looking as much I do putting the collection together. The largest group of items that I collect are K98 pouches. As of January 30, 2009, I have over 150 WWII German K98 rifle pouches in my collection. Seven pouches are also featured in the galleries that belong to other owners.

Now the menus looks better and the web pages work fine with no errors.

Also added a site favicon and the graphic/summary found in the manufacturer area.
