• Pardon the dust while the boys rebuild the site.

    The board will be in a state of disarray as I get things sorted out, for a little while at least.

    The new incarnation is using Xenforo as the system software. It is much like what we are used to, with a few differences. I will see about making a FAQ to help point out the differences for the members.

     

    One IMPORTANT difference for all of us old timers is that the 'mail' system is replaced with what are called 'conversations'/

    There is no 'Inbox' or 'Out box' or 'Sent' folders anymore.

    Think of Conversations as private 'threads' or topics that don't exist in a forum, that you start with another member. NOTE: Conversations can include more than one member if you or someone else in the conversaion, likes.
    Takes a little getting used to but I am sure you all can get a hang of it.

     

    Only a slightly modified default default Xenforo style is available for now. Once the new SAG style is ready it will be available.

    All existing users should be able to login with their usernames and passwords once the site goes up.

     

    If anyone has difficulties logging in please contact me at sixthvanguard@gmail.com.

     

    Thank you for your support and patience. I know it has been a loooong road.

Heer light infantry question

C

covert-

Mortarman
Hi there,

I took a DML Hermann Stahlschmidt and essentially dropped the radio equipment and Geberigsjager insignia, added a K98 and Panzerfaust with the intention of making him into a panzerjager. He has the light green piped collar tabs on the splinter smock - is this acceptable? From what I've read, light green piping denotes either mountain troops or light infantry. Would light infantry been involved with tank hunting?

TIA.
 
Grüß Gott Panzerjäger Covert,

Good question. Both Gebirgsjäger (Mountain Infantry) and Jäger (Light Infantry) wore light green Waffenfarbe....though it was only worn by divisional staff and the rifle regiments within the division. The other units within the division wore their appropriate Waffenfarbe. So the Division's Artillery would have Red Waffenfarbe, Signals - Yellow, and Panzerjägers would have Pink, etc.

So if you want to make a figure from a Jäger Division's Panzerjäger Battalion, he would have the Jäger (Oakleaf) Cap and Sleeve badges with Pink piped shoulder boards.


Mit einem kameradschaftlichen Horrido!
 
They didn't wear shoulderstraps on splinter smocks. Some Sr NCO's and Officers did have tunics made from spliter zelt material and did have them fully badged up with breast eagles, collar tabs and shoulderstraps. There are no provisions made ona splinter smock to put shoulderstraps on them
