BEAST Posted June 26, 2019 Share #3 Posted June 26, 2019 And this is why they didnt issue camo to U.S. troops in the ETO. The similarity is uncanny!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also watch Combat! when I can and I love the German half-tracks which are actually American half-tracks with a big swaz painted on the hood.

Bob Hudson Posted June 26, 2019 Share #9 Posted June 26, 2019 The USMC stuff must have been pretty cheap back then: even the Flying Nun show used it: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/101899-usmc-camo-the-flying-nun/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted June 26, 2019 Share #10 Posted June 26, 2019 Well... at least they made an effort. With the lack of visual acuity of the TV sets back in those days you could hardly tell the difference to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILL THE PATCH Posted June 26, 2019 Share #12 Posted June 26, 2019 My family didn't have a color tv set until the early 70's, my kids cannot understand why I watch old black and white movies. I tell for the same reason I listen to cassettes. They don't get it. To quote Sgt shultz, they know nothing!!

Sounds like my family Bill, we must have been the last family in town with a b&w TV I still love old b&w movies though and have a huge DVD collection. When my kids were little they sat there with me and watched 60's sitcoms and a lot of old b&w stuff. To this day they quote the classics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Government Issue Posted June 27, 2019 Share #16 Posted June 27, 2019 So the Waffen SS are behind the origins of the buttonhole covers? Must have been their designs the USMC stole in an OSS raid or some such. Had to have been Peter J. Ortiz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted June 27, 2019 Share #18 Posted June 27, 2019 Hey that reminds me, Hardy Kruger's character (Oberst Kranzer) wore a U.S. Frog Skin uniform, in the 1969 move The Battle of Neretva, overalls I think, here it was subbing for a Splinter or Marsh overalls as he was in the Army rather then the SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlymb Posted June 27, 2019 Share #19 Posted June 27, 2019 Actually, Hardy Krüger was conscripted into the SS in 1945 at age 16 and saw combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk Mom remembers party lines! Actually, we still (today) have a land line and nothing else. No mobile devices of any sort. No answering machine, even! If you call, we pick up if we are inside or at home. If we don't, means we are out! We actually still use a vintage rotary phone in the living room. -grin- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Barickman Posted June 27, 2019 Share #23 Posted June 27, 2019 We had a party line on the farm; sucks when your girlfriend calls and your Grandma would listen in on the conversation. TRUE STORY! Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
