German Army Uniforms


The soldiers in the German army.

I learned more about tunics there.
This website also telled you about when the uniform produced and issued.

I also see a eagle is embroidered on the uniform.
The eagle looks pretty powerdul !

The soldiers must be handsome in that uniform.

This kind of unforms is for a non-commissiones offucer.

This website showed many people's wear in German army.
Because it has too many information so I just looking around them.


I learned that during 1910,
each German state had its own particular uniform color,
and belt buckle motto....
so that each particular Regiment had some distinctive
or unique characteristic to commemorate some past battle.

This information can made me learn more about the uniform in the army .

These are shoulder straps .

This website talked about the field blouse a lot .

The uniforms look very cool.
Every kind of uniforms is for different people.
We can discriminate their official rank from their insignia's color.

I look lots of pictures and read some parts of the writing .
I am interested in it .

Queuing to register for evacuation.

This website talked about people register under the occupation.

It is harsh to the people to leave their hometown.

Because the British government announced
that the Channel Islands were of no strategic importance and would not be defended,
so the Islands might be attacked.


Everyone in the Channel have to queu to register for evacuation .

How poor ~

Blitzkrieg


↑The Jagdtiger, one of the most formidable German tank destroyers.

This website is very difficult, but the information in it is very complete.
I just look a little the information, and the pictures.

I learned about the operations in history, and the attack route.

I like the pictures in this website, but ...
the writing is too difficult ... !!
Many many words I haven't seem,
and I can't understand the meannings of the words.

The pictures is really cool !
Tanks and aircrafts is interesting to me .
They look very powerful .

↑Panzers in action, France 1940.

I just read the part of the blitakrieg's history .

I learnd that during the action, German dive-bombers, the Stukas,
filled the sky, strafing the retreating mix of civilians
and soldiers with machine gun and bomb.

I also learned that the history of the blitzkrieg, the blitzkrieg began and ended .
_______________________________________


↑The map below illustrates these assaults.

This website talked about the blitzkrieg in Poland.
I look the map carefully to understand the attack routes.
In March, 1939, Hitler started to plan to invade Poland.

I learned the casualties during the blitzkrieg, and the change of Poland after the blitzkrieg .

The map can help us to know the panzer's attack routes.
Those attack route look complex.
You can think about that the blitzkrieg is so terrible ...
