:o Wow! That’s a real great find… lol
-
EXCELLENT :o
-
yep, very interesting....
but I so hate, hate, hate these hunting trophy pictures... >:( :( :-[
In colonial times they used to do this with killed natives too
-
sorry, didn't want to slip into politics or such
it is just that it makes me pysically sick
not hunting as such, but killing predators (if not to protects livestock) is pure bloodlust IMHO
"look at me, dumb human, I can kill a polar bear with a bolt action or semiautomatic - big deal
and afterwards I dump the corpse into the sea...."
I apologize
the picture is indeed interesting as it shows how far german submariners got in WWII
I wonder if Dönitz was only phantasizing about the invisible fortress in the arctic
-
Now that would have been a interesting hunt. I'm sure those boys ate well for a couple days.
Great pick,
Brian

I wonder how many 9mm bullets it took from the MP40 to take it down.

bad bad idea
unless You are an Innuit who use everything (unlikely on a submarine)
the liver is poisonous, eating the meat would cause trichinosis unless thoroughly cooked, and the fur would rot in weeks in the damp atmosphere of a sub...of course You can eat the blubber
as for the hunt....
well, since I don't expect a landing party (and the bear is displayed on deck), I'd rather expect it was isolated on an Ice plate as often happens - so more of a sitting duck....
better hunt a prey animal, these at least are used to hiding...
-
It could of course have attacked the crew while the sub was surfaced and recharging batteries... unlikely, but not impossible.
-
nah
in this case they would have used the quad AA ;) :D 8)
-
Ok... I have to say it too. Good picture, but Polar Bears are one of my "pet causes". They are amazing, beautiful, intelligent creatures. Real sad to see one in that state. A shame.

actually the mass slaughter started just after the war, hunting from power sleds, airplanes, etc
what's the point? the bloody fur?
-
Or....perhaps this explains the mysterious disappearance of "Major Morpher," a little known American war hero whose ability to change shape allowed him to conduct espionage missions behind enemy lines. He vanished while on campaign against the Nazi U-Boat menace...

Heh:) Good one!
I don't object to Hammers posting it. It's a very period appropriate picture. Just makes me a little sad.

I see - that's the reason for the insane Nazi smirk
but his GF, the also famous changeling Betty "the Beaver" managed to escape and take revenge, together with the Bear Jew ;) (who actually was a changeling too)
btw, I don't object either - this is reality (but it makes me sick...)
is there any Info to the pic?
-
No, it is just a real period photo, one of many in a gallery also sporting the following:
EDIT: first funny photo can unfortunately not be shown due to policy.

I think they are interesting and fun because they show that many off the things we put on the table are not so farfetched after all.
-
unbelievable.....
I recall the funny bicycle patrol of Gert Fröbe in "D.Day" but he was never that.... well fed
that guy probably ate the polar bear ;)
-
I'm pretty sure those two are Laurel and Hardy, busy undermining the German War effort. Only Ollie has taken off his Hitler Moustache and given it to Stan, so no-one will recignise them.
Cunning.
-
These guys better be careful or Green Peace will be hunting them down as war criminals!
-
I thought the little guy was Robin Williams - must be stills from his new movie! lol

Wow. I think I used to reenact with the guy on the left...;)

Thanks Peder for the first photo. I like it for the dress attire of the crew.

It's like a 28mm figure comparison but in real life... we just need a ruler included for perspective and someone to contribute "I prefer the chunkier figures, they look the part after being painted up better". :D

Here's another one, just for you Helen:

Reminds me of the malarkeys we we were up to when I was in the navy. Boys will be boys whatever the epoch, war and nationality.
Edit: this one's WWI,though, innit? The bolts in the head is a give away, ain't I right?
-
I thought the little guy was Robin Williams -
the day he looks like this I'll start worrying..
Wow. I think I used to reenact with the guy on the left...;)
reenact what? Falstaff? HenryVIII? ;) ;) ;)

Thanks Peder, actually, it's the M1906 undergarment that gives it away! lol

tropical version ;)
or it is the uniform of a german unit formed for deception, 7th Wuertemberg "the Buffs" involving some misunderstanding
-
Maybe last war effort of WWII? No uniforms left but what the heck??? :D
