Free Czech Forces

Want to show a nice Item. Does not have anything to do whit the 

British Airborne. It is a gift from Czech Officers to a Capt N.G Arnold from 

the Czechoslovak training department/depot. The inscription on the 

Cigar/cigarette case is To Capt N.G. Arnold From The Officers of the 

Czechoslovak TNG. DEP.-E. MEF. April 1943. If there is any out there that 

could help me with the abbreviation on the case, I would appreciat it very much.

GREETINGS

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

WW2 Yanks.DK

Adding a new Klub under Traders and Associations. It´s a Danish Re-enactment 

group that I came in contact at Bunker By Knight they portraying US troops, from 

filed surgeon to US Airborne. Worth taking a look.

THERMOS

A very good example of  these seldom seen Flasks generally associated

with the Airborne or RAF Command Crews. The photo shows an
unknown means of transport perhaps on its way to Arnhem
or Normandy. The Thermos takes centre place in the picture.

The flask and carrier are quite large, standing some 365 mm tall.
Both flask and container are in very good condition whit the flask
having minor dents to the lower rim. The glass interior is
undamaged and the black finish is very good although the cork appears
to have shrunk. The heavily insulated carrier is without defects.
The base of the flask is clearly stamped with the manufacturer´s
details, a War Department arrow and the all-important date,
1944.

Dear followers

We received a mail from the 21st Independent Parachute Companys

Veterans association. They wondered if we could be so kind to change the name,

so that it would not be misleading.

We agree with the 21st IPC Veterans association and changed it to

Red Devils Re-enactment Group.

We apologize for the inconvenience and if we misled or offended members of

the 21st Independent Parachute Companys Veterans association.

Sincerely

Jan

FRANCE, AUTUMN OF 1944

October 12 to 14 this year.

A small story from the past weekend.

Autumn of 1944 somewhere in France. There was some British troopes that

blew away from their own forces in a air landing operation behind enemy lines.

It was men from the units 21st IPC that would mark the ground for a

major operation.

After they had orientate themselves, they came in contact with the local people.

They informed that there were German troops in the area and they had American

prisoners amongst them and that there was local resistance movement.

While the British were informed by the locals, they heard aircraft in the air and that

they attacked the German units on the ground from the air.

21st IPC lookout for theYankee´s.

At this time when the Germans were attacked from the air, The Americans took

the opportunity to escape. The men belonged to the U.S. 2nd armor and was

part of the great operation that had been launched. They had been told before the

operation started that it would be a airdropp and if someone would get lost they

should go to the designated areas and to try to rendezvous whit the British units.

American prisoners.

Strike of luck did  the Americans rendezvous white British unit and consolidate

there options. They agreed that the best thing was to try to get in contact with

local resistance movement. On the way to try to find the LRM the got

detected by the LRM. The LRM were on their way to sabotage a radio station

and needed backup, followed the British and Americans the LRM and

supported them in there mission.

Some skirmishes actions was there on this day.

It was a nice day and a good scenario.

French resistance.

The group of the day.
