    Hmm, interesting Andreas.
    Can anyone else smell a farmyard? It seems to be coming from over *there* /l\

    Ignoring the unit, I wonder how long it will take the buyer to realise that the rank is missing a 'n'?

    Also the fact that the Germans had a specific name for the operation, and it wasn't BATTLEAXE.

    All the best

    Total phoney IMHO. In addition to ‘Hauptman’…

    • Why would a German use the British title of a British operation?
    • Never seen the Afrika Korps badge with ‘AFK’
    • ‘8th Panzer SS’ is total nonsense. Even if it existed - which it didn’t - the Germans would not use ‘8th’ but rather ‘8.’.
    • 8.Panzer-division did not serve in Africa.

    etc etc.

    Caveat emptor.

    If you find this sort of stuff funny, I would strongly recommend joining the 'Military Fakes and Forgeries' group on Facebook.

    To say that there is 'one born every minute' would seem to be a serious under-estimate.

    When it comes to supposed devotional objects of Knight's Cross bearers, some people's minds go blank.
    And if the "dealer" then also offers a "LIFETIME AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE" - what could possibly go wrong?
    :whistle:

    As JITTER PARTY said, there's more than one born every minute...
