Hi Folks,
This one is really for Poly. I found these photos of Germans in the Balkans on the Picklehaube site. Many thanks to Robert for providing these pics.
Meet a few gentlemen with "Balkanmützen" (from left): Oberleutnant Scherler from Elberfeld, "me", Dr. Simon from Leipzig, Rittmeister Sacher (?) from Torgau, Hauptmann Reibig from Lützen, Hauptmann Blochius Hartmann from Düsseldorf. Date Oct 12th, 1915.

Is there no end to the villainy of the Hun? Conscripting garden gnomes into their army now, are they? :)
This one is just unbelievable. Were they wearing them for a bet?
-
That was the first meeting of the German Lead Adventure Club lol
-
"Guys, you know what the problem is with our uniform? The Pickelhaub is not crazy enough."
-
Grenadier mitres just don't look as snazzy without the big plate on the front.
-
Seven Dwarfs
-
I wonder what they're hiding under the hats? And why is the hat on the man in the middle beginning to collapse?
-
Schnapps bottles would be my guess.
-
lol lol
Thanks for this. I've finally seen a silly military hat to top the Bearskin.
-
I'd really like to see those guys do a goose march in those hats. Talk about incapacitating your enemies, them laughing themselves into a catatonic state.
-
"me" ?
That is some excellent picture editing Helen, I imagined you taller though....
Still, I've never seen a picture of Gartzenwerge-schützen before. Excellent trench raiders and expert at getting across Gnomeman's land....
-
Gnomeman's land....
BOOOOOO! >:( lol

Please don't think I'm proud of that, but my hands started typing it and there was no stopping them... lol

Now I'm going to need to find one; or have the wife make me one to put on the shelf next to my Shlem.
-
Should be easy enough. It looks like you just need to detach a sleeve from one of those nice sheepskin lined coats, turn it inside-out, and sew one end shut. You will be the envy of the neighborhood!
-
What woman wouldn't love her man in a Balkanmützen.
A Tarboosh for Monday and Tuesday, a Kepi for Wednesday and Thursday, a Beskozirka for Friday, a Balkanmützen for Saturday and the Shelm on Sunday.
Won't life be grand! lol

Gnomeman's land....

Oh hardy har har lol
From what I read on the forum the Germans were posing with their captured Serbian head attire.
-
Brilliant. ;D
One wonders if there were any stormtruppen, trenchraiders or post-war Freikorps with these hats.
Did any of them grow beards?
Interesting tactic though, baffling your enemy with a silly hat:
"what the..."
"Haahaha! Sterb, du Britisher pig!"

Hi Guys,
Another interesting photo of a famous German General.

The death head hussars, from their enheritance the german tankers got the death head insignia, though today they seldom dare to show it in the public because the SS stole it and it's more associated with Himmlers henchmen.
-
I'm going to sculpt some of them dudes, just for a grin
did they fight in them hats?? or is it like a smoking jacket thing??
-
1914 they might actually have fought in them, but not for long I guess.

Hi Guys,

For some reason I can't stop thinking of that old Star Trek episode 'The trouble with Tribbles'.

Darstadly indeed. Disguising themselves as Christmas trees, no doubt to take advantage of a Christmas truce. :)

But in international nomenclature it refers to that pointy russian felt thingy, doesn't it?

I was referring to my repro budenovka which was affectionately called a shlem by the troops. Not much of a helmet actually.
But yeah the pointy russian hat with a big star and fold down ear flaps.

Had no idea shlem could mean budenovka, in russian they are two absolutely different things. But it's maybe really the international nomenclature.
