Small Scale Military Headquarters

This looks like a very interesting movie, will it be realeased outside of Poland? Pickle, I'm sure it will but I'm not sure if the range of it will be really wide. This is a non-English movie, without special effects and - I think (I didn't see it yet) - depressing. If I have any news I let you all...

Today is the anniversary of the Soviet aggression on Poland in 1939, 17 days after the Nazi attack. The terror against Poles was the same in both German and Russian occupation zones. Hundreds thousands Poles, within 15 000 Polish officers were murdered by the Soviets. The POWs were killed in 1940 in...

The original Hitler's command to invade Poland was found in the Polish archives. The photos are of low quality, but you can see them here: http://www.rmf.pl/fakty/?id=122885

Thanks Phil! I am happy that my sons are born in independent Poland. Fortunately, they don't know any totalitarism personally. I hope we, the people from the countries represented on this Forum, will be still united, strong and free.

true abour the red "liberator" :cry: phil The Red Army entered my town, Rzeszow, in July 1944. Like in other places, the Polish AK (Home Army) units in Rzeszów which helped Russians in fight against Germans were shortly disarmed by the "liberators" and the soldiers murdered or deported to Siberia b...

The US reenactment groups are not very popular in Poland, because the US Army didn't fight in our country . Unfortunately, we were "liberated" by the Red Army. But there are exceptions:

Question of money... How to earn more? A solution could be to win the International Triennial of Political Poster in Mons and to buy a favorite version of Sherman... Why not, but I didn't send my works, this time... :cry: :wink: Dear Phil, I think and hope that you earlier come to Poland to see i.a....

Hello Phil,

the photos are great! It's interesting that the Sherman "Sloppy but safe" is really not any US version but the Mk. V (= M4A4) which was used by the British, Canadian, French, Polish and other Allied forces in Northern Europe. Most Fireflies were the modified M4A4, too.

Maybe you remember, Tko and me "prophesied" the Polish Mustang Mk. III

Now I suppose 21CT will release the 1/32 Spitfire or/and the Hurricane. Probably both from the Polish squadrons (I imagine the entire 303 Sq...).

Am I right?

Matthew, yes, I heard that the Poland's president Kaczynski wanted to give the Hetzer to US president as an aid for New Orleans. However, George W. Bush didn't accept it and said there is a lot of vehicles taken from the water, there. So, I only saw on TV your president receiving a sabre from our pr...

Jurata on the Hel Peninsula where the Hetzer was found, is the same place where the Presidents of US and Poland meet today.

Matthew,

I understand you want to emigrate to Poland (= this state...) and have a possibility to be an owner of this Hetzer! Great news! Welcome to Poland!

Nobody will want to look at that rusty old thing. Tell them to send it to New Orleans . I will be glad to take it off of there hands

Sorry, no concrete news. Next days the Hetzer will be transported to Gdansk to the restoration. And then? Probably some museum, for sure in Poland...

very cool - I wonder if that sat on the beach for a long time with kids playing on it etc until finally covered with sand, surf and forgotten. Stuka, you're right, it was so really. On that Polish forum you can read relations of people, who in 70's and 80's swam there and played in the Hetzer. The ...

Where? In Jurata on the Hel Peninsula, Poland http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hel_Peninsula

What? The Jagtpanzer 38(t) http://www.odkrywca-online.pl/galerie.p ... c937513247

Still there is the projectile in the barrel...

Thanks to 21st Century Toys! I always believed you were going to release the Polish Mustang! Maybe more other planes to complete the entire 315 Squadron? Or all the Hurricanes Mk. I from the 303 Sq. (Battle of Britain, 1940)?

I suppose it's easier to produce a metal plane with more flat surfaces and a little plastic details than the smaller metal tank with a lot of small parts...

<img src="http://www.themotorpool.net/photos/DRA60292-1.jpg" align="left"></p> In other news, two more 1:72 scale Draon Armor vehicles also made the cut. The first is a M4A1(76)W Sherman tank operated by the Polish 2nd Armored Rgt., Polish 1st Armored Division then deployed to Holland in late 1944....

Well, maybe the Allied camo schemes in Western Europe '44 and '45 were a little boring, but... there were captured German tanks used by Allies, too. There were more Panthers (two ones) used by Poles during the Warsaw Uprising 1944, than the tanks Maus (one) ever produced. The look of at least one Po...

Panzer, my sons received some 21CT 1/32 planes, i.a. the desert Stuka. Don't worry, the central bomb is in, it's fixed under the fuselage. I agree with somebody's opinion that it looks too small as well as it's "arm". There is also a strange "pocket" on the lower surface of the fuselage, behind the ...

Great pictures! Congratulations!

Wieslaw

Thanks Panzer, Corey, Todd, I saw the Corgi Mosquito and I think it is a great model (like all Corgi 1/32 ones). But the armless Mk XVI is not my favorite version. I like better the NF II, F/FB VI, NF XII, NF XIII or NF XXX Mosquitoes which were used e. g. by Polish 305 and 307 Squadrons. Otherwise ...

I voted for Mosquito. It would be nice to see a Wellington, too...

Wieslaw

Nice models, probably first Shermans Mk. V (M4A4) made in 1/72 (I think all Aoshima's Shermans are of the "export" version Mk. V or Mk. Vc). As always, I reacted enthusiastic to the Polish markings, but... the Firefly named "RYCERZ I" ("KNIGHT I" in English) was really a Mk. Ic (M4 with 17 pdr gun),...
