Some eagle eyed member could tell you - I picked them up off ebay! I think the MPs are a BAM mortar set that I added armbands in tape and radio antennas etc.

I always carry quite a few old figs so I can do commissions.

Thanks for the kind comments - I would love to pick up a commission of someone at some point! I really need a website though.

Operation Greif involved SS units impersonating allied troops in the Ardennes.  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Greif

Gosh.  Nazis not abiding by the rules of war.  Who'd have thought it?



Unlike the allied swines that executed so many of their pows? I will wait for the replies with great anticipation, the hordes of wikipedia heroes showing up and exposing their ignorance to the world. I will get my popcorns.

Make a provocative remark in the hope of getting angry replies?  There's a word for that, isn't there?

(I assumed that suggesting Nazis did bad things was not controversial.)

I echo Prof's thoughts and I'll lock the topic and remove unwanted replies that are not in the spirit of the thread.

Thanks,

Helen
Best wishes,

I will keep in line and not bother to answer this silly comment, so we dont get the thread locked. I just wanted to point out that this was done on both sides, and yes, you can find the information easily enough.

To actually comment on the OPs post, the models are very nice, and a cool project indeed, and I am sure it will yield some very interesting wargaming. Great inspiration for me at least.

Thanks for the compliment!  The set was a commission for a guy in Iowa.

regards
