The Naked and the Dead

May 22 2013

Posted by ammojus in World War II on Screen

I remember many years ago watching a movie called "The Naked and the Dead". A couple years ago I found a VHS copy on Ebay and bought it, only to discover it was formated for UK and not USA. Since then, I have yet to find any VHS or DVD copy of that movie. I remember it was a good movie and sure would like to find a DVD copy. Has anyone found one? Thanks.

Equipment identification please

May 21 2013

Posted by MarChant in Non-Weapon Essentials

Hello All,

On a Dutch forum, someone is trying to identify a set of pieces of equipment found in the "40-45 Museum" at Schaarsbergen. Nobody seems to know what they are. Could very well be post-war too.

Do any of you guys here recognize them?
