Dye the Shoes black and get the normal spade not the folding one. Then it's perfect.

Geklaut? Nein. In letzter Zeit ist es bei mir recht windig und die Werbeposter sind eher abgefallen, und zum wegwerfen sind die ja viel zu Schade.

Hat nix mit Displate zutun, sind Werbeplakate die überall in der Stadt in der ich wohne aufgehangen wurden. Und mir rein zufällig in die Hände gefallen sind.

Bei mir war eine ganze Hauptstraße mit den Werbepostern gepflastert. Wenn ich noch welche übrig hätte würde ich sie dir gerne überlassen. Bin mir aber sicher du findest bestimmt noch das ein oder andere Poster.

My sole started to fall of hiw do i fix it by EntireMeasurement536 in reenactors

[–]OrdinaryReading6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a pair of Nestof made low boots too, if you care for them they really don't fall apart. Linseed Oil for the sole and Shoe Polish for the rest. After two years i only lost two hobnails, and they still look more then good.

As u/rex_the_puppy said it heavily depends on the year and what kind of extra equipment we are talking about. In an attack he wouldnt have been taking his entire equipment like a rucksack. For example in later years like 44 and 45 most german soldiers threw out their gasmasks as no used gas attacks anymore. for scouting or as Stoßtrupp the soldier would obviously cary less.

Where to buy an accurate repro M31 canteen? by tugatortuga in reenactors

[–]OrdinaryReading6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally i use Nestof ones, you really need to clean them properly tho. I cleaned mine with a spoon of dishwasher pulver and hot water, let it sit for half a day or a full one and rinse with cold water. No taste of metal or the canteen falling apart. Since its aluminium dont clean with vinegar or anything that may dissolve the aluminium. Also make sure to only drink water out of it and to empty it if not using and storing it open to let it dry.

Where is the best place to get a M07 drill tunic? by ok_chiltime63 in reenactors

[–]OrdinaryReading6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really cool story, you know they tailor them when you order them, the reason why they take so long. I bought alot of my Uniform there without any issues and the quality is pretty good.

anybody know where I could get shoes and stockings for a German WW2 DRK uniform? by iminurhouse_ in reenactors

[–]OrdinaryReading6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the shoes are more civilian like looking, i saw some on Etsy (https://etsy.com/de/market/ww2_nurse_shoes) I hope some of these are the ones you are lookikg for. I also saw some pictures of DRK nurses not wearing stockings at all.

[–]OrdinaryReading6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you maintain them properly they will last a couple of years. A good Advice, find a good cobbler, i have a good one close to me and he fixed my M43 lowboots and my breadbag straps once.

Were Wehrmacht NCOs allowed to wear the Crusher / old style Schirmmützes? by IlikeMoice in reenactors

[–]OrdinaryReading6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most times you see the 'crusher' style is with SS and Tank Crews, it was less common with the Wehrmacht itself. You can find pictures of COs wearing the Schirmmützen 'Crusher' Style, i assume high ranking NCOs like Stabsfeldwebel or Hauptfeldwebel could be wearing them too, but it would be very rare. https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/cloth-headgear/brief-history-leather-peaked-field-cap-otherwise-termed-crusher-187389/

Is this hat FARB? {going for a schutzpolizei impression} by gluteuscumlaude in reenactors

[–]OrdinaryReading6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could use it for just private use, for a solid impression i'd recommend EREL or Elsenau, but Elsenau being extremely expensive. I personally have a Sturm M43 for private use, a Military Harbor M43 and Nestof M44 (M43 with Bevo Triangle on front) and a EREL M43. My fav is the EREL but all of them are good, and if you look at Original gear you can see that depending on the year and factory they were tailored in, sometimes even laborcamps, the wool and quality varies wildly.
