As a one-time visitor to the extensive Jacques Littlefield armor collection in Portola Valley, California before its liquidation, this online museum site was surprising for its authentic period collection of restored US-focused armored vehicles & military artifacts.

In return, the partnering museum will get a percentage of our monthly donations since we are a FOR profit business. Great work on your collection, amazing!!- Brian

Comments:   Sunday 9-22-19 my son and I went to visit the Rockford "Midway Village" reenactment. Because of two days of steady rain the event was cancelled. While sitting at a stop light a M4 Sherman crossed in front of us going down the road. So we followed it. We had a great view of them loading it onto the trailer. But our day got even better when farther down the road we found two more trailers being loaded with more equipment. Thank you for keeping them running and make for a great day!

Comments:   Chuck The new version of the book is now out with even more photos and details from the olden years of the HRS. Get your free copy from me at Rockford, but if you cannot wait it is available from Lulu.com. I think I got all the flubs out at last! Yesterday, the wife noticed your photo book sitting on my shelf. Out of sight out of mind and too late for this edition, I’ve added a note for next year regarding your book. Question: When I go to Rockford this year and if I take a vehicle and am dragging my trailer, my travel buddy and I may want to see the U505 (he’s never been there) – could I come by for another visit and leave the trailer behind at your place so I do not have to tow it through Chicagoland? If we decide on this plan we would (likely) arrive Tuesday afternoon and spend the night at the local motel in Rochelle so we can head for the S&I Museum Wednesday morning and spend the day in Chicago and head back to Rochelle after the PM rush hour. Then I would return that evening or Thursday morning to reclaim the trailer and head for Rockford. Tanks Terry

Comments:   Very impressive and informative. The U.S. Military Railroad Service was the back bone of supply for transporting huge volumes of supplies that were always needed by our fighting units on the front. Why were these Railroad Units overlooked post war. Even the unit histories are difficult to locate. Their story should be told, or don't people care anymore?

Comments:   My grandfather, William Richard Wickman served with the 70th Tank Battalion in WWII. I just inherited his personal items from the war, which he never spoke of. I have his two "70 Tank Battalion" arm patches, his pins, his many ribbons, some nazi items, his bronze star medal, and some more very personal items from the war. I am eagerly trying to learn as much about his time in the war and with the 70th as possible. Are there some other sites you can point me to so that I can find out more information? I have his dog-tags. Can I use that number to access his exact movements with the army? Any advice is appreciated!!!

Perhaps my Ohio reenactment group B co. 502nd 101st Abn. can attend (in our 4th ID uniforms) to join you in the Rockford reenactment sometime. I know I certainly would love to see your vehicles operating in the field. Please feel free to contact me at any time at this address. I have told my fellow re-enactors that your site is easily found because of the Higgens boat that is in front of the Armory! Best wishes, Roger Romestan SGM,(Ret.)

Comments:   I am so thrilled that I found your site! I can't believe it took me this long. My Grandfather was Robert J. Newman. He was a sergeant in the 70th but I've been told that he was awarded a battlefield commission and his discharge papers list him as a 2nd LT in October 1945 when he went into the reserves. You have a picture taken before the war at Ft. A. P. Hill, captioned "Sergeant Newman eating lunch..." that I believe is him. I know that he was awarded the Silver Star for gallantry in action involving the rescue of wounded comrades from their tank on 09NOV1942, 6 miles SW of Port Lyautey, French Morocco. I know that he was also awarded the Purple Heart and at least one Bronze Star but I do not know the details of those awards or the events that led to his commission. Like most men who lived through the war, he never talked about it much and by the time I was old enough to realize how important it was and sit and talk to him man to man, he was gone. If you have any other photos or info about him, please contact me.

I am now writing a novel about their young lives...This chapter about my father's death is very hard to do. The reality of what happened to those brave men in that forest is incomprehensible. I feel my family left me a legacy to share with the world and I won't rest until my novel is complete and published. There are so many that feel as I do about WW11, and I am grateful for that.

Comments:   My grandfather was TEC 5 C.F. Mitchell. Our family was always aware that Paw Paw served in WWII but because he wouldn't talk much about it we knew very little in terms of details. The most vivid reminder to us all of his service was his small collection of shrapnel that was removed from his body. Periodically pieces of shrapnel would become irritated and he would have them removed. Pieces that were large enough he drilled a hole in and kept on a key chain. He went to his grave carrying pieces of WWII in his body. Paw Paw passed in 1994. My grandmother allowed me to scrounge for any remenants that might unfold the story of his time in service. I found very little as he had almost completely isolated those years of his life. I found the wallet he carried during the war. In it was his enlisted mans identification card for the European Theater. There was also a copy of a set of special orders showing him being promoted from PVT to TEC 5. At one point in his service he had obtained the rank of SGT but that is a story in itself. I also found a small journal he kept during the war. Armed with these artifacts I began my journey 16 years ago to uncover my grandfather's story. This summer, after 16 years, I stumbled across Roberts Armory. I called them and shared with them the information I had. Mrs. Roberts took down the information and promised to research their archives. I'll never forget the next time I spoke with her. "We found your grandfather," she said. "He was with the Headquarters Company in the 70th Tank Bn." I'm a grown man, a father and a former Marine and I am not ashamed to say that tears rolled downed my cheeks. Let me explain why. Many of us have watched the Band of Brothers. In a nut shell what Mrs. Roberts confrimed for me and my entire family was that TEC 5 C.F. Mitchell was there on June 6, 1944 when the 70th Tank Bn came ashore at Utah Beach and hooked up with the boys of the 101st Airborne, the Screaming Eagles, later that evening. I also knew the men my grandfather served with during the invasion of Sicily. On Saturday, August 14, 2010, my two sons and I traveled from our home in Kentucky to Rochelle, IL. The Roberts opened their museum just for us. They very affectionately showed us their amazing collection and shared story after story, detail after detail, about the 70th with us. At one point, they showed me the company roster that held my grandfather's name. Words cannot explain what this has meant to my family, especially my sons. Pride doesn't even begin to touch it. Gratitude and Awe...what an amazing generation of warriors. Chuck and Lydia, thank you so much...may God richly bless you as you have been such a blessing to us. Brett Green, Grandson of TEC 5 C.F. Mitchell, 70th Tank Bn, WWII

We were discussing the movie that had just let out and he began telling me about his service during WWII. He went on to tell me he was part of the 70th Tank Battalion and served for 5 years during the war. I think I was so awe struck to meet this man that I forgot to ask him his name. I read and watch everything I possibly can about World War II and the sacrifice so many of those men and women made. If anyone knows who I am speaking of please pass this message along to this kind man... Thank you very much for the freedom we all enjoy every day of our lives.

Comments:   Just wanted to share an interesting event that happened to me recently. First, it is important to know that my Dad was in the original 70th from its constitution in 1940 to its 1946 inactivation.Anyway, I was recently in London on business and visited the Imperial War Museum. In the D-Day exhibit, they have a display where you can listen to 4 different D-Day vets recount their experiences on June 6 1944. One of the vets is John Ahearn of the 70th who was wounded by a mine on Utah beach. It was quite a thrill to see that of all the units involved in the Normandy invasion, the curators of the museum thought the 70th worthy of inclusion! I must tell you that it made me a very proud Yank. Please help keep their memory alive!!

From what I can see of pictures taken recentely, the camp has really changed over the years. I took lots of pictures of equipment and of the camp during that period. Enjoyed reading some of the comments.

Comments:   Currahee Military Weekend Oct 12-15, 2006The Toccoa/Stephens County Historical Society invites you to attend our third annual Camp Toccoa Reunion and Reenactment Events. Camp Toccoa, now made famous by Band of Brothers, was the birthplace of the 501st, 506th, 507th, 511th, and 517th Parachute Infantry Regiments as well as the 460th Arty Battalion, and 596th Combat Engineers (Airborne). We will have Veterans, or their families, from all these regiments attending, along with Veterans of all conflicts since WWII. The 501st, 506th and 507th Vietnam - present day will also have members attending, as well as from the 101st, 82nd, Rangers, and most other units of the U.S. military.This year we are expanding our focus for the reunion and reenactments to include all WWII units, both Allied and Axis. There has been great response throughout the U.S. and Europe. We hope to have several hundred re-enactors take part along with several different military vehicle associations. There will also be displays and aircraft from today’s military. The event will take place at the Toccoa Airport, October 12-15, 2006.One of the Weekend events will be the dedication of the new Currahee Military Museum which is housed in the restored Toccoa train depot, the debarkation point for most of those men who trained here. Tour the stables used for quarters by first A, then E company of the 506th P.I.R brought "across the pond" from Aldbourne England. This $325,000+ ongoing project is being paid for with donations and proceeds from reunions. During the Currahee Military Weekend we will dedicate the Currahee Military Museum to honor all of our Veterans.Those interested may participate in the Currahee Challenge Road Race, the "three miles up and three miles down" we saw in Band of Brothers.This year I am sending invitations to all Military Academies and many military colleges urging them to send a class/corps of cadets to the Currahee Military Weekend. We have lost so many veterans in the last few years, this may be the last opportunity to meet and talk with living heroes. Our invitation is extended to everyone: veterans, active duty personnel, military buffs, history buffs and each and every American who wishes to show their pride in out Veterans. If you know of others who may be interested, please pass along our invitation to them.

Comments:   I came upon your site while trying to do research on my father. If I acn remember correctly he did 2 tours of duty. He was stationed at Fort Sam Houston with the 70th Calvary Recon Troop. Then I found a picture of him in uniform, displaying his rank which was E-6. On the back of the pic, there was some writing, D' Troop 6th Cons, and he was stationed at Codurg, Germany. The date was 02/17/4?. The rest was cut off. Could someone out there email me , I would really like to know more about what kind of soldier he was. If anybody has any info, I would greatly appreciate it. My daughter served in the Marine Corp and has only been out a year. We decided to try and get some history down to pass along. So again if anyone has any kind of info whatsoever, Please! contact me. Thank You and God Speed! Eva

Comments:   Hello, you have a very very nice site. We are members of a club in the very south of Holland which is keeping many WWII vehicles "alive". My husband and I own a GMC CCKW 353 and a Willys jeep. With these vehicles we join many events every year in Holland, Belgium and France etc. to remember all heroes who have served. Our children are teached about this history in school untill today. Now we are looking for information about the "Operation Husky" in Sicily. It seems that the vehicles that had landed there had a yellow circle on the hood?? Maybe someone can tell us more about this item. By the way, our club is named Santa Fe. Our website is www.santafe-events.com, unfortunately it has not yet been translated in English. Thank you and greetings from Holland

We are in the process of inheriting (5) 75mm Pack Howitzers from a unit that is being deactivated. These guns will be used for various ceremonies here at W.P. My soldiers will be responsible for the upkeep of these guns, but we have no Technical Manuals (TMs). I would be willing to spend my own money in order to acquire a manual to photo copy and return or to purchase it outright. Also, if anyone knows where to find a gun to replace aged parts on these, that would be a major plus.Thank you,Matt Billings

I have found some new barrels and may do the paperwork to activate and register it. I hope to see your Traveling Museum someday. Do you have an idea as to value of the receiver?

Comments:   Let me tell you about my Dad. 2 Lt. Willis Duke Warren of the 741 Tank Batillion. Co. B. His co. landed first on Omaha Beach that morning. They were launched too far out from the beach. Dad said were on a Time Table. They Launched and so many men died due to the water being too rough. He launched stared in and told his men to come to the top and get the raft ready andtold driver to lock the gear in and come up top. He was driving from the top anyway. Good thing the sides broke in sending the armys secret wepon to the bottom but not the men. the were picked up to get another tank. From there D Day to Hedge row country, Hill 192, Rocarath and krenkelt The twin villages of the Battle of the bulge.His Tank Was the last tank out of that Village before the German push. He lost many friends there. Dad told me that neather side was tanking prisoners. It was a fight to the death. He had his tank knocked out losenig his driver. Later going back into that tank to get the amo with was running out. He had to wipe his drivers brains off the 76mm Shells. He always said God was there helping him and his men to get home safe. Frome there they went to Chekcolvoka to show force to The Russian and even to fight them if need be. From there he left his 5th tank there never to look back. 2 Lt Willis Duke WarrenCame home to rise a family of 4 boys and 1 girl.By Carl Moody Warren ( son )

I keep in my memory years 1944-45 when I was 6 year old boy and listen during dark nights deeply tuned sounds of allied bombarders planes and after liberation of Pilzen by 3rd Patton Army on May 6th in 1945 i was fall for GI jeeps. Nowadays I am member of Vehicle Club WWII - Prague; Military Car Club - Pilzen; and just now we proudly founded new 3rd ARMY CLUB - Pilzen to keep memory for next generation.

Comments:   Giving away Military Stretchers.Saturday, February 19, 2005 My name is Gerald "Sarge" Stein and I am an Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighter Instructor here at the Oakland International Airport in the Bay area. We are in the process of updating our Mass Casualty Equipment and we have approximatly 100 Korena War Era Military Style Stretchers that we are going to dispose of.Being a WW2 History buff myself I asked my Fire Captain if we could give them away to an re-enactment group. He agreed.So I am contacting as many groups as possible to see if they are interested in taking them for free.You have to come and get them. They need to go to a good place because, being out in the weather they are in the beginning stages of falling into disrepair.I have attached a couple of photos to show you that we have them.If you want them then please e-mail me back or if you know of anyone else that wants them let them know.I can be reached at:(510) 238-4022 Airport Fire Station #22Take care and God bless!

I would like to know if there are still any reunions that I could bring my kids to. My father died in 1983 and never met any of my children. I would like to give them a chance to learn about their Grandfather and some history. I also would like to attend another reunion, as I didn't really understand the importance of them when I was young. I will look forward to hearing from anyone who knew my father.

I served in combat in Vietnam with the 1st Squadron, Fourth US Cavalry,1st Infantry Division. I knew some of the officers pictured in your sites. My father passed away in 1980 and in burried in Arlington National Cemetery. I would be greatly honored to attend one of your reunions. Ron Davidson

I believe they are still on-going, but my Dad has passed away. I have a copy of the history of the 70th from its inception and the battles these men fought in. I hope one day in the not too distant future to travel to the Normandy beaches. Thanks for what you're doing.

Comments:   I was doing a search for 70th Armor and came across your site. Very nicely done... some great pictures of the past! I was in 2nd Battalion 70th Armor Ferris Barracks Erlangen Germany from 89 to 91... we were known as the Iron Tigers and we were called up to fight in Operation Desert Storm. The 70th has possibly one of the greatest lineages in armor history being that they were the first independent armor regiment. I'm glad to see that no one forgets even the first days of the 70th Armor! STRIKE SWIFTLY!

I recently read "An Army at Dawn" about the North Africa campaign and highly recommend this to any of your members. I wish I could join you in the turret some day. What a thrill that would be!!!

Comments:   What a great site. My father served in the Canadian Army during the final years of WWII. He served in Canada's little known Pacific Division as a 4.2 in motor crewman. All his brothers and cousins from Toronto Ontario served in the war as well. His brother Harry left Canada in 1939 with the 48th Highlanders. My dad was 11 when he watched his brother leave for war at the Toronto Train Station. My uncle left as a private in the infantry and returned home as a Sergeant Major in the 1st Canadian Airborne Regiment. When my Uncle Harry finally returned to Canada at the end of the war my father was 18 or 19 years old and a Corporal in the Army. My father’s cousin Hubert landed in Normandy on Juno Beach D-Day +2 and was critically wounded during the beach head breakout. Cousin Hubert was in the Canadian Signals Corps. His unit was DF by a German 88mm Battery. His unit and friends were wiped out and everyone was left for dead. One final check was made before the main unit had to move on. Hubert was found barley alive in a burning vehicle. He was quickly medically evacuated back to Juno Beach and then back to England. He remained in hospital for the next year in Canada recovering from his wounds. My father told me that he had great difficulty dealing with the fact that most if not of his comrades had been killed in that artillery bombardment. After the war my father and many of his family and friends that served in WWII would meet frequently at our family hunting lodge in Trout Creek Ontario. I’m sure after a few drinks and few hands of poker they were able to let go of their experiences in WWII. Later on in the 70’s our American cousins who were Vietnam Veterans from Buffalo came to the lodge. I remember listening to the many conversations between the two generations of war veterans. I think it was the influence of these two proud groups of men that left a lasting impression on a ten year old boy. I have now served 18 years in the Canadian Army and Navy, 11 years in the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry and seven years in Naval Intelligence. Cousin Hubert taught me the fundamentals of shooting a rifle at the hunting lodge when I was a small boy. Later on in 1988 I had the honour of being a member of Canada’s top military shooting team. Our Rifle team was awarded the prestigious Letson Trophy in Ottawa Ontario. Along with the Letson Trophy we won the honour of representing Canada at Bisley England for the Commonwealth Rifle Competition in 1989. When I pin my Letson Rifle Decoration on my uniform I always think of my father, his family and friends that served in WWII and next generation of veterans who served in Vietnam. Keep up the good work and never forget the sacrifices of others…Keep the history alive.

In London, the taxi drivers would put a huge bladder - much like a modern day waterbed mattress - on the luggage rack and pipe it to the engine. filled with natural gas (bio-gas?), it would provide enough fuel to keep the cabbies in business.

I always feel fortunate to live in a location where I can get to see some of the best equipped re-enactor groups in the country. There were so many vehicles on the field that I kept thinking "someone's going to get run over". A great show; looking forward to Rockford '02!

Keep up the good work and most importantly have fun while your doing it.
By the way our Government may be on the Commi side and lacking in support for the fight against terrorism but i can assure you the majority of the everyday Kiwis support you 100%, and once you get Bin laden on the ropes, kick him in the balls one more time for me, and if theres anything left of him when your finnished give him to the New York Firefighters and Police.

Iam very interested in researching my Father's experiences in WW2. He was in the ETO in the 580th AAA Battalion Battery A during the last part of the war (December 44-January 46). Any information out there would be greatly appreciated. I'm especially interested in learning more of the 2 Bronze Battle Stars that he earned and is indicated on his military records 'for participation against the enemy during the Rhineland and Central European Campaigns'. He never told us (his family) about these medals and unfrotunately is now deceased.

I find your unit very interesting as my father served with the 70th in '42-45. He was a medic who spent a good share of his time attached to Co. C. He served in N. Africa,
sicily, England, the invasion of Normandy, moving with the battalion across France, Luxumborg, Belgium and into Germany until April 17, 1945 when he was wounded in a german artillary attack somewhere between Stutgart and Nurenburg. Would be interested in hearing from anyone who knew him. He was Chester L. Fredrickson. He passed away in 1986 but always spoke highly of the 70TH and the men he served with.

I am researching my Uncle Jack (John) Dooley's service while with the 70th Tank Bn. He landed at Utah on "D" Day with HQ Co. He later volunteered to go to the front as a replacement. He was KIA on 01 Aug. 44 as "A" Co. left St. Lo after the breakout.

If anyone has any information or details on what happened that day I would appreciate hearing from you. I do know that "A" Co. lost two tanks that day. The other Co.'s did not see any action on 01 Aug. 44.

Also does anyone know where on the mid east coast I can find an M4 Sherman on display?

Good site -- well done. During the time you remind us of, I was assigned duty as a control tower operator in the USAACS so could only chuckle at Willy and Joe's comment: "I'd rather be in the infantry Willy. Them movin' foxholes attract too much attention." (with apologies to Mauldin).My first experience with a tank occurred in 1938 at the war-games near Fort Sam Houston (San Antonio)where my uncle (a referee) introduced me to the M3(I think)light tank. It was the one with two turrets and a seven cylinder air-cooled radial engine under the floorboards.

Airplanes, submarines and tanks share a mystique among weaponry in that their mode of operation is inherently hazardous and requires great skill and perseverance (not to mention luck) to survive. Hence, there are many, many stories -- all of them true -- relating to their exploits.

For a time, beginning during the Korean episode, I worked to enhance the ordnance effectiveness of tanks and learned that "ordnance engineers design weapons; vehicle engineers design targets!"

More power to you and the group.

If you need radio tubes let me know. I have hundreds of them. I use to repair tube radios.

Also, if you ever consider an out of state exersize I have a 130 acre farm in northern New York that may be available.

Aloha, I've been a WWII buff since forever. 1953 when at the age of 9 I got hooked on "Victory at Sea" episodes.
I'm always fascinated to find something that I never knew about before. Since the inception of my internet participation, Operation Varsity, The M-22 locust, and
use of Japanese Troops, in Southeast Asia, after the surrender of Japanese Forces. 2 Incredible. Will be a frequent visitor. This is an incredible source of
information on the "Big One" Much Aloha Paul Driscoll

Dear Sir,
Great Site! Perhaps you can find a 70th Armor vet to answer a couple of question that I have been trying to track down the answer to:

1. Were the DD tanks issued to the 70th all the same model, i.e. all welded hull M4's or all cast hull M4A1's, or were they a mix of the two? (All of the photos and surviving examples seem to be cast hull A1's, but my source books are either vague or contradictory.)

2. Did the Normandy DD tanks utilize the late model 75mm turret with the loader's hatch. (The Southern France Invasion photos show them, but the Normandy photos are taken from the wrong angles or are obscured, as in your photo of the ones in the landing craft.)

3. Did the Normandy DD's have wet storage for the 75mm ammo?

These may seem like nitnoid questions but I am working on a report for a Master's in Military History and my thesis is that the crash US program to develop homegrown DD's might have triggered crew survivability upgrades to the standard Sherman production lines.

Quotes or attribution to specific vets would be very helpful for the report. Or perhaps you could ask them to contact me via e-mail.

I appreciate any help you could give me.

Thanks,
MIke

Dear All,

We are a group of Europeans who do the same thing as the Robert's Armory seem to do in the USA. We do several public re-enactments in Britain throughout the year and also do around 2 commemorative liberation runs to France, Belgium and The Netherlands. We have often had American re-enactors and living historians come across to take part with us.
Our main event in 2000 will be a week long liberation run from Bethune in France to Mons in Belgium we hope to take 5 Shermans as B/66 AR and 5 half-tracks as D/41 AIR. We plan to have a full squad in each track and have half a sqaud on the rear deck of each M4 which we did last year. It is a fantastic experience which sadly you can never experience in the States. To roar through a French town through crowds of cheering villagers waving flags and passing wine up to you is something else. They really remember what it is like to be occupied and then to be liberated and they have never forgot to honour the real guys who gave them their freedom back.

familiar to me. I was a soldier stationed at Ferris
Barracks in the neighboring town of Erlangen from Feb 1991-
Oct 1993. It was good to see Nurnburg again. You are right
about WWII history in Germany. Nobody likes to talk about
it-especially those who lived through it. Great web site!

Great Site. Finally found one that lets people know about the 70th Tank Battalion. (The most decorated Battalion in US military History) I was with the 70th in WWII as an 81mm Mortar crewman in a half track called "Hells Hornet". I did take lots of pictures while in and after combat. What type of pictures are you looking for? I read thru all of your comments but only found one name that I remembered and it was from his son (who I will contact) Keep up the good work. Sorry I couldnt identify anyone for you as most of the pictures were from D company and usually we had C company tanks with us. Sincerely Bob Meyers (The Michigan Kid)

Great to see your interest in the 70th Tank Battalion. My Father (Anthony Zampiello) served in the 70th during WWII from N. Africa Through Sicily, Normandy, and Europe. He was awarded Five Bronze Stars, The Silver Star, and the Purple Heart. If you read the book Strike Swiftly he is mentioned in several places. I know if he were still alive he would get a kick out of the 70th re-enactment group. I am very proud of his service during the war and would be happy to hear from anyone interested in the 70th.

How does a "newbie" get in touch with groups such as your dance troop? Where can period reproduction naval officer uniforms be purchased?

I don't know what it is about the encampment in the wooded setting, but it just seems to add another element of realism to the living history displays. Another fine series of battles also. It appears the various reenactment are steadily growing. Heard you guys are trying to secure an M20 scout car. Best of luck.

Dear Sirs: I am an eight grade student at lake Norman charter School.
I am doimg a research paper on David Marshall Williams, the inventor of the Carbine

My name is Kraig Rice. My father, Sgt. H.M.Rice, served in the 2nd Infantry Division during WWII. He landed at Omaha Beach on D-Day+1 and fought thru Normandy, at Brest, and was wounded on the Siegfried Line. I think all the vets of WWII are heroes. I am hosting a web page for veterans of the 2ID who were in WWII. You might find some of these articles and combat war stories interesting. If so, subscribe (free) to read what is posted there. The web address is http://egroups.com/list/combat_vets_2ID_1944/ You have a great website. Keep up the good work. Cordially, Mr. Kraig Rice warcorrespondent@hotmail.com

Nice site! Was a WWII reenactor. Maybe again sometime. The
pictures come across as a fantasy Christmas shopping list(Oh, to win the lottery). The restoration section made me
want to just dive in and start working on something I know
nothing about. This whole site sparks the imagination of
those who will never be able to ride or drive much less own
one of these jems of living history but let the sparks fly.
Maybe some day I will own a lugnut to a jeep. It's a start.
Keep up the excellent work!

I'm curious as to what you might have done with the BC-611 chassis and microphone from the sets that you have converted to 11 Meters. I'm restoring a lot of BC-611's and find that I have more cases than chassis and antennas.

Interesting site. I've got a question though. I'm the owner of a 1942 Dodge WC 51 and a member of the Dutch Historic Military Conservation Group "Keep them Rolling". I wonder whether anyone could help me with the following. I am about to repaint the truck and would like it to be as original as possible. Therefore, I am trying to find out to which (part of) the (US?) Army the truck belonged during WW2. As I understand it, it is not possible to find this out through (only) the chassis number. However, this particular truck was restored in 1950 by the US Ordnance Automotive Center in Schwäbisch Gmuend. There is a plate attached to the "glove" compartment with the following text:

Rebuilt by
Ordance Automotive Center
SCHW GMUEND
Ordnance Rebuilt Shop
US Army Europe

Nomenclature : TRUCK 3/4 TO 4X$ WOW
Model : WC 51 - 6 Volt
USA No : 2208104
Serial No : 81697761
Date : 22-3-50

Since the serial no. is correct, I know the plate belongs to this truck. Does anyone know whether this plate (maybe in particular: the USA no 2208104) can be of any further help in locating the origins of this particular vehicle? Thanks in advance.

Whoa...was the only word that I could utter when I dropped
by and took a peek at this place.The annual reenaction of the WW2 battles made my blood rage with excitement.But not being a US citizen and all,I feel sorry for myself that it is somewhat impossible for me to take part in replaying one of the most grueling yet vigorous battles in the history of mankind.I just hope that an event like this take place in Korea someday.

My dad served in the 70th Tank Bn. as the Battalion CO's driver. I was amazed to see that you folks are reenacting the unit. There are still some 70th oldtimers who get together once a year for a reunion. I'm going to pass your info on to them. I'm sure they'd love to see what you are doing (That is if you don't mind some constructive criticism to enhance your realism ;). By the way, get a copy of Marvin Jensen's book "Strike Swiftly!" (Presidio Press 1997.) It is a history of the unit from North Africa, through Sicily, England, France and into Germany.
Thanks for keeping the memory alive.

My grandfather recently passed away and he left to me some German helmets in the will...(Pith Helmet) one is in perfect condition, it just needs cleaned. The other, however... (an infantry helmet) is in need of the face sheild and all the leather work needs redone. If you have any ideas about how I can go about getting them redone I would really appreciate you letting me know. Thank you very much,,,Geoffrey

Do you have any plans to take any vehicles south for any battles ?
I know alot of Re-enactores that would love to have a little armour support down here.
I'll drop you a line the next time I am in the Chicago area.

of them in his Uncles garage. I believe he finally sold them
to a collector. By the way, they had the turrets but they
had been cut with a torch from Commanders hatch through the
gun mantelet and down to race ring. I'll see if I can find
out if there are any parts left. The barn was a treasure
house of military parts, etc collected over the years of going
to Military surplus sales all over.

Well, I finally made it to one of your reenactments (Rockford '98) and I was extremely impressed to say the least. The living history display is a great idea -- letting the general public get right up close to the men and equipment. I have to admit however that the stars of the show for me were the 2nd Panzer Division's StuG III and Hetzer. I have been waiting a long time to see all you guys in action. Great job!!!

I found that the photographs on your page were
truly excellent! For a WWII modeler like me, they
are such a big help! If anybody knows where I can
get photos of the M10 "Wolverine" Tank Destroyer,
please E-Mail me this information. Thanks!

Hello again, This is Anthony Walters. I must thank you all for those booklets you sent me on the vehicles in your museum. They have provided me with info that I have never seen before. I have misplaced one of them. It is the one telling about the 37mm.,the 40mm.,and the .50 caliber quad-mount AA gun. It was my favorite and I was wondering if you could send me that booklet because I wasn't done reading it when I lost it. I would appreciate If you sent me that one booklet on those three guns if it is no trouble to you. I was never expecting anything and it was a big surprise when I got them in the mail. To me, it would be amazing just to look at one of those for real instead of over the internet. This page is great, but it would always be better to look at the vehicles up close in real life. If I got a chance to look at just one of the tanks, I would spend hours just looking over it inside and out. I'm especially interested in the M22 and the M5 light tanks. The 37mm and the 40mm are also interesting.
I have many books at home on the M5 but none on the M22. I know that it was modeled after the M3 stuart tank. I also know that it was a very popular vehicle for its reliablity, speed, and mobility. To me, the M5 looks almost the same as the M3A3. I've seen an M3A3 up close, their is one in David City, NE. It is sealed up so a person can not see very well into the interior. I've also been inside an M20 scout car. It is a very nice vehicle. A guy up by Havard, Ne. owns it. He used it at a demonstration at the Harvard Air Show. It is the same as the M8 except for that the M20 doesn't have a turret but instead has an armoured structure were the turret is supposed to be. Thank you for this wonderful page and the booklets.

Sincerely,
Anthony Walters

I really enjoy all these pictures and the info that comes with each photo. After looking at those, I would love to take just one "around the block". My grandpa landed at Utah beach on June 6th, 1944. He has told me many stories about tanks. I would love to participate in one those reenactments. But I'm only 16 years old. I've been a war enthusiast since I was born. I plan on enlisting when I get out of high school. If anybody wants to send me info on tanks and other vehicles, my address is Box 91 RR-1 Guide Rock, Ne. 68942

Do you know a site with information on the British "Funnies"?

Thanks for all your work and for keeping this information, technology, history and memories alive.

Nice site. I've been collecting photos of our group for about 7 months, and
We've just about gotten our History of the 45th Link finished so I can load it up.
I would like to know how far south you reenact. We mainly do ours in Austin,
and sometimes in Louisiana. I'm interested in finding information about groups
with vehicles, especially GI vehicles. Our Military Historical Society, TMHS, has
access to a Hetzer, Kubelwagen, M-2 Halftrack, a German Halftrack, several GI
Ford GPW's, Dodge WC63 Weapons Carrier, and a few German motorcycles w/ Sidecar.
We desperately need more GI armor and mobility, and we would like to know if your
organization does this sort of thing anywhere near our area.

Thank you for your attention,

B. Hollis, 45th Infantry TMHS

I am currently studying propaganda in the
Second World War. To do this I have set myself the following question, which I aim to answer;

To what extent was the propaganda used in the Second World War by the British goverment successful?

This is quite open question therefore I aim to look at lots of aspects of the propaganda used, how it was successful, in some cases why it was not. However to do this I need to build up of broad knowledge of world war propaganda methods, and especailly need to contact people whose lives were affected by the propaganda. If possible perhaps they could mail me their experiences. It would be furthermore helpful if I could contact someone who was involved in actually designing or giving the orders for the designing of posters. Documets are of vital importance to me to get a better understanding of the era, thus if you have any contacts or links to where I may be able to further my research I would be greatful.
If you are able to help me with any of the above I would be most
greatful.


Thankyou in advance for your time, Pete_1000@hotmail.com

costs for one of the vehicles for 1-2 days in the Quad
Cities (parked). I'm hosting a TACOM seminar 14-17 April 98
and all thos guys in the Tank business would just love it.
I'm cash constrained (trying to hold seminar to last year's

I really enjoyed this site. It is interresting reading
articles about all WWII vehicles. I`m a member of "HMK" in
Norway. (HMK=Historical Military vehicles assosiation).
I own a Dodge WC52 build in 1942. It came to Norway after the war and
stayed in service within the Norweigian forces to the end of
the 80`s. When I was in the army in -84 I drove both WC52`s
and other vehicles such as the "GMC" and the "M6-21".
So when I had the chance a couple og years back,
I purchased my own Beep(Big-Jeep).
`Cause I couldn`t forget that lousy heather!

Nice page! The day after tomorrow (10 October 1997), I will
collect a very fine Dodge WC51 I have bought. I will also
become a member of the Dutch "Keep Them Rolling" Society,
which is dedicated to preserving and maintaining WW-II
vehicles. I further intend to establish a homepage which
will initially contain information regarding Dodge WW-II
trucks, but may at a later date be expanded to include other
WW II vehicles. If you have any information regarding Dodge
WW II trucks, I would much appreciate to hear from you.

Bye for now,

I enjoy viewing this page. It looks great. It also manages to make me wonder why us 'legs' insist on walking.

I go through Big Rock at least twice a month and never once have I seen a tank. I spent one evening in the town of Wareham, England and met up with several tank right in the center of town. The Bovington Tank museum is just outside Wareham.
With those two experience in mind am I really to believe that there is a tank museum in Big Rock?
I expect I shall be going through Big Rock in the late afternoon of 2 October. How about shooting off a couple of round of ammo from the Stuart so I can find you?
Seriously, I will have to look into your schedule to find where and when I can view your vehicles or a re-enactment.

Wow, this site is truely Second to None! As a cadet at the United States Military Academy and a future officer in the Army, I applaud your efforts in keeping the history of this great Country alive and well. Your collection will inspire a new generation of Americans to a lifetime of selfless service to the Nation. Perhapse you can show-off your equipment during the half-time of a future Army-Navy game as well!

Great sight, please don't compare the AN-M2 to the 20mm Lahti and Solothruns. They have more power and mass behind them. Anyway, does anyone have or know of a 20mm Solothrun they would like to sell. I prefer complete set. Have very nice complete Lahti set, gun has less than 10 rounds fired to help the deal. Let me know something.
