Yes i did, even got an rss feed on that site, but still it remains hard for me to believe that they fought. I see it more as that maybe they suplied the guys that did the actual fighting, maybe even during battle, cous if that kid would fire his mg42 the recoil would just push him away, hell, at that age it would verry likely break his clavicula (collar bone?).

But the Swiss military, if the pilots were alive, allowed them to return to Germany.



almost a floating battery, Leipzig stand to last shell on duty

More info? i mean, the Prinz Eugen and the Leipzig collided in the Baltic, heavy fog. But Eugen was sent to Danzig and then moved to Copenhagen were it was taking by the British and sent to the USN. But the Leipzig? he stayed in Gdynia?
The Leipzig moved to Aabenraa (Denmark) and was captured by the British.

Yup, Curtiss Hawk 75A-3 "Sussu". Finns scored 190 victories with this plane while 15 own planes were lost.

The Marmon-Herrington THD-315-6 with articulated omnibus trailer, used by the RAF for the 1,300-mile duty transport run between Habbaniyah, Iraq, and Damascus, Syria. In 1932, two "Desert Pullman" bus conversions of the THD-315-6, originally an oilfield pipe carrier, were bought by the Nairn Transport Co. to run between Baghdad and Damascus. One of the vehicles was taken over by the RAF in 1943 and is seen here at Habbaniyah, compared in size with a Hillman Minx staff saloon car. Known as the "Monster Bus" in RAF service it carried 44 passengers and their luggage, was fully air-conditioned and was equipped with a kitchen, lavatory and iced-water on tap.

Catalina Y-38 of the MLD with in the background a Do-24K-1. Picture taken September 5th 1941 at Soerabaja.

I have something for seaplanes, I still think both the Do.24 and the Catalina are two of the most beautiful planes ever made!
