Q on Polizei equipment

glenning · Sep 24, 2008

Hey guys! I have some questions on the gear and weapons used by the German Police during the war. I know that they used a lot of captured and foreign gear like Czech and Italian stuff, but did they also produce their own, unique equipment(like ammo pouches and so on)?

I've seen many photos of Polizei units using Italian weapons and equipment, but I can't tell the "nationality" of this stuff(see attached link), can anyone help me

Thanks in advance!

OT, everyone should take a look at these great photos of SS-pol.Geb.Rgt.18 during the war(over 400 photos!):

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.
