LAH, LAH, LAH! New Projects

I currently have two displays featuring toy soldiers representing the LAH as they appeared in 1938, just before the outbreak of WW2. Both of these displays have been featured in previous posts, one being a street scene depicting the LAH and other assorted SS and SA figures marching past the Reich Chancellery, and the other being a display of the LAH in front of the Lichterfelde Barracks

The first of these is very near completion as I only have a small amount of road surface still to fill whilst the second has only just been started and will form the subject of a number of future posts as it develops

Likewise the two projects which are the subject of this post, both in the early stages of development and both of which I fully intend to cover as they are added to over the coming months and, perhaps, years!

The first of them will sit on a shelf 50cm deep by 42cm wide and will consist of the K+C Nuremberg podium with National Eagle backdrop. The display will be based on the photo below which is taken from the Berlin '38 section of the Sierra Toy Soldiers website


My display won't look exactly the same as this, but this will give you an idea of what I will be aiming for. The mounted figures will almost certainly feature, as will the columns and one or two vehicles. This is what it looks like at the moment, as I say, very early days!



The precise composition of the ensemble on top of the podium will almost certainly change and the shelf it is sitting on gives me a lot more depth than is visible here, and a lot more depth than in the STS photo, room for quite a lot of figures!
The second project I referred to isn't, strictly speaking, about the LAH, but it is about a man who was closely connected with the development of the SS and he is featured in my 1938 street scene display

I'm speaking, of course, about Heydrich. Some time ago K+C released a limited edition set depicting his assassination at the hands of Czech agents working for the SOE. I have the set and for some time have been contemplating having a diorama base and display case made in which to display it





I am currently in negotiations with Dave, at TM Terrain, who I'm commissioning to do the base, and he is, as we speak, racking his brains figuring out how he's going to do it, based on arguably the most famous photograph showing the location of the somewhat bungled attempt on Heydrich's life


I will be posting fairly regularly in connection with all of the above mentioned projects as and when new figures and models are added, so keep looking in if you're interested to see how they develop

German Fighting Man

As you may already know, or may have guessed from the content of many of my posts, I collect toy soldiers and choose to specialise in models representing fighting men from the area of Europe we now refer to as Germany

Inspired by an article in the latest edition of Toy Soldier and Model Figure magazine, penned by A J Mergenthaler, one of their regular contributors, I have decided to dig a little deeper into the history of the "German Fighting Man"

28mm Landsknechts

Over the next few months I am planning to put together a series of posts charting, in overview form, the historical origins and evolution of Germanic warriors and soldiers, taking my cues from the above mentioned article

28mm Zastrow (Saxon) Cuirassiers

As well as being well known to readers of TS&MF, A J Mergenthaler is a longtime toy soldier collector and has contributed articles to several hobby related and historical publications over the years, as well as being a co-founder of the Military Historical Society. Thank you for the inspiration!

Airsoft: Tour of Duty - Airsoft Arms Fair

 

Well, here we are at the end of April and May is nearly upon us. With that in mind I thought I'd take the opportunity to plug this event again

AAF is an independent event for the Airsoft Community. Hosted this year just south of Birmingham at The Grange. All attendees will have their legal defence to purchase RIF's verified by us and be issued with a colour coded ticket that lets a retailer or private seller know if they are under 18 / over 18 / over 18 with a legal defence, thereby making the buying / selling experience as straight forward for everyone as possible. If you are intending to come to the event and have access to a legal defence other than UKARA membership please book early with full details of your defence to allow us time to verify it. We will only be able to verify UKARA membership on the day, not any other legal defence

This year the AAF is being held on Saturday, 21st May and it promises to be even bigger and better than last year's with more dealers in attendance and a special appearance from Pete Winner, a veteran of the SAS and a member of the team involved in the Iranian Embassy siege, who will be giving a talk and promoting his new book, signed copies of which are included in the price of the Premium Ticket Option


We are operating an e-ticket system this year please do not select a postage option


If you are wearing an AI patch on arrival at site you will receive a £1 refund back on your ticket price

There are 3 ticket times available for attendees;


10 am entry - SOLD OUT
10 am entry premium ticket - SOLD OUT

11.30 am entry click here to book - £5
11.30 am entry premium ticket click here to book - £13.99 (includes entry to the AAF, entry to the Iranian Embassy Siege Presentation and a signed copy of Soldier 'I')

1 pm entry click here to book - £3
1 pm entry premium ticket click here to book - £11.99 (includes entry to the AAF, entry to the Iranian Embassy Siege Presentation and a signed copy of Soldier 'I')

All ages are welcome, and there is no requirement to be UKARA registered to attend. However, without a legal defence you will not be able to purchase RIF's at the event. If you have a legal defence other than UKARA please ensure you contact us by phone or email with the details of your defence so that we can verify it. For example, if you are a member of an insured airsoft site that is not part of the UKARA scheme then provide us with the site's contact details so that we can contact them to verify that you are an airsofter

As already said, there will be even more dealers in attendance this year, including one or two big names. I've already purchased my ticket, but was a little slow off the mark so missed out on the 10.00am slot and had to settle for 11.30am. Last year's event was very well attended and it was good to see so many people supporting it. It would be great to see lots of people there this year, too

AAF is an event for Airsofters and people interested in the sport, giving them an opportunity to view a wide range of products all in one place, after all nothing beats being able to see an item for yourself. At the same time we offer the opportunity for sites and event organisers to tell you about what they have to offer, allowing you to book for a MilSim or FilmSim game and acquire everything you're missing from your loadout all at the same venue. We also offer the opportunity for private sellers to retail their second user equipment, excess guns and rare and unusual kit. Make sure to check these guys out as there's bound to be some incredible bargains


Some of the dealers and other organisations who will be attending this year's show in May
Hope to see you there and in the meantime, happy hunting!

Latest Additions

Hello there toy soldier lovers, and welcome to the next installment of the LA series of posts, only the second so far but by no means the last

These models dropped onto the doormat, metaphorically speaking, on Saturday morning having come all the way from Canada, to be precise from Quebec, where they were previously being lovingly looked after by Toy Soldiers Club [see previous post]

The two foot figures depict an officer and rifleman of the LAH regiment and come from the K+C Berlin '38 series, whilst the tank is a Waffen SS Panzer III in summer camo pattern, very recently retired

The following photos show the above two figures 'in situ' as part of my recently begun Lichterfelde Barracks display. I have BIG plans for this display so keep looking in on the blog every once in a while if you want to see how it develops!





And here are a few shots of the Panzer III, broken up with a few historical details pertaining to its manufacture and usage during the war. More details available from Wikipedia, Achtung Panzer, and Military History Encyclopedia


Development Details

The Panzer III Medium Tank was the main German battle tank for the first two and a half years of the Second World War, only beginning to lose that status after the appearance of the Panzer IV Ausf F2 in March 1942. Until then the Panzer III had been the only German tank armed with a gun designed to penetrate enemy armour

Serious work on the Panzer III began in 1936, when a number of German tank manufacturers produced prototypes for a tank in the 15 ton category. This tank would be the main anti-tank weapon, firing armour piercing shot from its 3.7cm gun, while the Panzer IV would be the close support tank, firing high explosive shells at soft-shelled vehicles or anti-tank guns

Daimler-Benz, Krupp, MAN and Rheinmetall all produced prototypes. Testing of the prototypes took place in 1936 and 1937, leading to the Daimler-Benz design being chosen for production. The first model of the Panzer III, the Ausf. A, came off the assembly line in May 1937, and a total of ten, two of which were unarmed, were produced in 1937. Mass production of the Ausf. F version began in 1939

The development and production of the Panzer III progressed very slowly. On 1 September 1939 only 98 had been completed (compared to 211 Panzer IVs, 1,223 Panzer IIs and nearly 1,500 Panzer Is). The situation had somewhat changed by the start of the campaign in the west in May 1940, by which time there were over 300 Panzer IIIs on the front line, but it would only be available in really large numbers for the start of the invasion of Russia in the summer of 1941

The Panzer III was laid out in the same way as the earlier Panzer I and II, with the engine at the rear and the gearbox at the front. The turret was an enlarged version of the one used on the Panzer II, now carrying three out of the five crew (commander, gunner and loader), an arrangement that dramatically improved the fighting power of the tank by increasing the rate of fire and allowing each member of the crew to concentrate on one job, particularly the tank commander who was able to focus on situational awareness and overall tactical considerations. This design feature was inherited by all future German tanks and by many later Allied vehicles as well


The Panzer III was intended as the primary battle tank of the German forces, however, when it initially met the KV and T-34 tanks in Russia it proved to be inferior in both armour and gun power. To meet the growing need to counter these tanks, the Panzer III was up-gunned with a longer, more powerful 50mm (1.97 in) cannon and received more armour, although this failed to effectively address the problem caused by the KV tank designs. As a result, production of self-propelled guns, as well as the up-gunning of the Panzer IV, was initiated

A Panzer III of the 2nd SS Panzer Division, Das Reich, after the Battle of Kursk
In 1942, the final version of the Panzer III, the Ausf. N, was created with a 75mm (2.95 in) KwK 37 L/24 cannon, a low-velocity gun designed for anti-infantry and close-support work. For defensive purposes, the Ausf. N was equipped with rounds of hollow charge ammunition which could penetrate 70 to 100 millimetres (2.76 to 3.94 in) of armour depending on the round's variant but these were strictly used for self-defense



Variants
  • Panzer III Ausf. A, B, C, D - Pre-production models in 1937-1938. 75 produced.
  • Panzer III Ausf. E, F - Production models 1939-1940. Armed with 3.7 cm KwK 36 L/46.5 (later 5 cm KwK 38 L/42) guns. 531 produced.
  • Panzer III Ausf. G - More armour on gun mantlet. Armed with 5 cm KwK 38 L/42 gun. 600 produced in 1940-1941.
  • Panzer III Ausf. H - Minor modifications. Bolt-on armor added to front and rear hull (30 mm + 30 mm plates). 308 produced in 1940-1941.
  • Panzer III Ausf. I - Variant mentioned in Allied intelligence reports but not an actual existing vehicle.
  • Panzer III Ausf. J - The hull was lengthened. Front armor increased to 50 mm plate. 482 produced in 1941.
  • Panzer III Ausf. J¹ - Equipped with the longer and more powerful 5 cm KwK 39 L/60 gun. 1,067 produced in late 1941 to mid 1942.
  • Panzer III Ausf. K - Panzerbefehlswagen command tank variant with a modified turret. Carried actual main armament rather than a dummy gun as found on other Panzer III command versions.
  • Panzer III Ausf. L - Uparmored to 50 mm + 20 mm plates. 653 produced in 1942.
  • Panzer III Ausf. M - Minor modifications such as deep-wading exhaust and schurzen. 250 produced in 1942-1943.
  • Panzer III Ausf. N - Armed with a short barreled 7.5 cm KwK 37 L/24 gun, due to 7.5 cm gun's ability to fire HEAT rounds. 700 re-equipped J/L/M models in 1942-1943.

Combat Record

The Panzer III was used in the campaigns against Poland, France, the Soviet Union and in North Africa. A handful were still in use in Normandy and at Arnhem in 1944

In the Polish and French campaigns, the Panzer III formed a small part of the German armoured forces. Only a few hundred Ausf. A through F were available in these campaigns, most armed with the 37mm (1.46 in) gun. They were the best medium tank available to the Germans and outclassed most of their opponents

Around the time of Operation Barbarossa the Panzer III was numerically the most important German tank. At this time the majority of the available tanks (including re-armed Ausf. E and F, plus new Ausf. G and H models) had the 50mm (1.97 in) KwK 38 L/42 cannon which was also mounted on the majority of the tanks in North Africa. Initially, the Panzer IIIs were outclassed and outnumbered by Soviet T-34 and KV tanks but many of these suffered from mechanical problems and their crews were not that familiar with them. This, along with superior German tactical skill, crew training, and the superior ergonomics of the Panzer III, all contributed to the Germans managing to achieve very respectable kill ratios against their Russian opponents

The appearance of the T-34 and KV tanks did, however, worry the Germans and rearming the Panzer III with a longer, more powerful 50mm (1.97 in) cannon was prioritised. The T-34 was generally invulnerable in frontal engagements with the Panzer III until the 50 mm KwK 39 L/60 gun was introduced on the Panzer III Ausf. J1 in the spring of 1942 (the gun was based on  the infantry's 50mm Pak 38 L/60). This could penetrate the T-34 frontally at ranges under 500 metres (1,600 ft). Against the KV tanks it was a threat if armed with special high velocity tungsten rounds. In addition, to counter antitank rifles, in 1943 the Ausf. L version began to be fitted with spaced armour skirts (schürzen) around the turret and on the hull sides. However, due to the introduction of the upgunned and uparmoured Panzer IV, the Panzer III was, after the Battle of Kursk, soon relegated to secondary roles, and it was replaced as the main German medium tank by the Panzer IV and the Panther

The Panzer III chassis was the basis for the turretless Sturmgeschutz III assault gun, one of the most successful self-propelled guns of the war, and the single most-produced German armored fighting vehicle design of World War II

By the end of the war, the Pz.III had almost no frontline use and many had been returned to the factories for conversion into StuG assault guns, which were in high demand due to the defensive warfare style adopted by the German Army by that stage



For more information on the combat record of the Panzer III, see the following: "Panzer III Medium Tank"

Other Panzer III Based Designs

  • Artillerie-Panzerbeobachtungswagen III - Forward artillery observer tank. 262 produced.
  • Bergepanzer III - In 1944 some Panzer IIIs were converted to armoured recovery vehicles.
  • Flammpanzer III Ausf. M / Panzer III (F1) - Flamethrower tank. 100 converted from existing Panzer III Ausf. M.
  • Minenräumer III - Mineclearing vehicle based on a Panzer III chassis with a very highly raised suspension. (Prototype only.)
  • Panzerbefehlswagen III - Command tank. Heavier armor, dummy gun, and long-range radios.
  • Sturm-Infanteriegeschütz 33B - A close-support, Assault gun. Armed with a 15 cm sIG 33, 24 built.
  • Sturmgeschütz III - Assault gun / tank destroyer armed with a 75-millimetre (2.95 in) StuK.
  • The Soviet SU-76i self-propelled gun was based on the chassis of captured German Panzer III and StuG III. About 1,200 of these vehicles, many from Stalingrad, were converted at Factory No. 38 in 1943 for Red Army service by removing the turret, constructing a fixed casemate, and installing a 76.2-millimetre (3.00 in) ZiS-5 gun in a limited-traverse mount. The armour was 60 millimetres (2.36 in) thick on the casemate front, 50 millimetres (1.97 in) in the hull front, and 30 millimetres (1.18 in) on the hull side. It was issued to tank and self-propelled gun units starting in autumn 1943.
  • Tauchpanzer III - Some tanks were converted to "diving tanks" for Operation Sealion.

TOYSOLDIERSCLUB.COM

 
Last month K+C decided to retire a whole load of sets, you may remember me mentioning it in a previous post. At the time, I referred to the fact that I only wanted one of them, whilst other collectors might be in a position of 'needing' several, so I considered myself fairly lucky. The set I was after was WS134, the Normandy SS Panzer III

I duly rang the lads at K+C UK, eager to place my order, but sadly they had sold out and told me they wouldn't be getting any more because they had sold out in China as well! One or two more phone calls followed as I tried to get hold of it from other UK dealers, without any luck

Now I don't know about you, but I'm one of those collectors for whom completeness is quite important, so if it's taking up space on my wish list then I have to do all in my power to ensure it takes up physical space on a shelf! Having said that, I'm very reluctant to pay over the odds for anything, including toy soldiers. So, I looked on ebay, having decided beforehand that I was only really prepared to pay what the set would normally cost, but couldn't find one. There was only one thing left to do, go to America, or so I thought at the time!

I tried a dealer over in California who I have bought a number of things from over the years, but he didn't have any left, and the same was true of one or two others I tried. To cut to the chase, I ended up going to Canada, home of the company referred to in the title of the post, ToySoldiersClub.com, and I was delighted I did


I corresponded with them via email over the course of a couple of days and they were very prompt getting back to me each time. They had the set I wanted so I ordered that, and to make sure I qualified for their shipping discount I ordered a couple of foot figures as well. Their shipping discount kicks in at $200 but they kindly gave me the discount anyway as the value of my order was $183, and adding an additional foot figure onto the order would have pushed me into the higher P+P bracket. All in all I paid $46 shipping, a grand total of $229

Now I'm well aware of the uncertainties and potential difficulties involved when ordering things from as far afield as America, Canada or China, and I'm a firm believer in supporting homegrown businesses but this company has impressed me and I will certainly use them again. I placed the order on 13th April and it was with me, delivered to the door and not left languishing in a Parcel Force depot for me to go and collect, 10 days later. What's more, I made a saving of £31.22, on UK prices, not a lot but 'every little helps'. They only send out figures in factory sealed boxes, nothing that has been on display in their store, so I fully expected everything to arrive in tip top condition, and I wasn't disappointed. All three models are now on display in my hobbies room

So, a big thank you to the guys and gals at TSC. If you're over in Canada, and anywhere near Quebec, why not pay them a visit, or do the next best thing and order some soldiers from them. I doubt you'll be disappointed

Airsoft Arms and Accessories: A-TACS Camo

I have decided to draw together all posts related to airsoft weaponry and equipment under one heading, starting with this post, as part and parcel of my attempt to give the blog a bit more 'structure', and more of an 'e-zine' type of feel

The heading is the one you can see referred to in the title, 'Airsoft Arms and Accessories', and the subject matter of this inaugural post is one around which there is quite some considerable 'buzz' just now, the recently designed, and newly available, A-TACS camouflage system designed by DCS in America

There's a great deal of interest in this camo at the moment, as I've already noted in an earlier post back in March, with a number of players at my regular site investing in A-TACS patterned Masada AEG's, and there's a load more 'stuff' starting to hit the shelves allowing you to personally customise, or pimp up, an existing gun, or order one ready made with all those essential, and other not-quite-so-essential, A-TACS bits and pieces bolted on before it leaves the store

This post isn't about that, it's about the clothing, now readily available thanks to Propper International


If you've been following the rollout of this gear at all then you may already have read this but, for the sake of completeness, here's some slightly amended advertising copy regarding the relative virtues of the new design

A-TACS® was developed by Digtal Concealment Systems, (DCS), to answer the call for a better and more effective camouflage pattern for use by military and law enforcement personnel. A-TACS® is designed to be a universal pattern suitable for a wide range of operational environments and, although produced solely in the “arid” pattern at the time of writing, additional colour and design variants are in the pipeline

Many of the modern digital camouflage patterns currently in use have their flaws. The square pixels used to create the distortion effect do not replicate the shapes, forms and shadows of the environment they are deployed in, especially when viewed through optics. The ninety-degree angles and limited use of natural colours can, in many cases, make detection easier

Additionally, the “visual noise” in these patterns tends to make them ‘unify’, or close-up, into a solid colour, producing a “blobbing” effect when viewed from a distance. A-TACS® addresses and improves on these critical issues in three main ways:

1. Firstly, unnatural square pixels are replaced with organic pixels. Using a patented process, DCS have created a palette of natural colours, digitally sampled from real-world elements in carefully controlled lighting. The complex camo pattern is then created using a mathematical algorithm that writes “organically-shaped” pixels using the specific color information given. The resulting pattern is still produced digitally but is far more natural, or organic, in appearance

2. Secondly, A-TACS uses small patterns to create larger, more distinct, shapes designed to work at a distance. Small shapes create larger shapes and larger shapes are organized into a distinct pattern with no horizontal or vertical orientation. This unique “pattern within a pattern” concept allows A-TACS® to effectively break the human outline at greater distances, thereby minimizing the “blobbing” or unifying effect found with other patterns

3. Finally, more effective use is made of colour, resulting in much better concealment. A-TACS® is created using a far greater range of inter-mingled, natural colours than was previously possible. The overall base colour for the initial colour way is a neutral tan which is designed for use in open, rocky or arid environments

Visit www.a-tacs.com for more information


So, what do you do if you like the sound of this and want to try it out? Well, a good airsoft acquaintance of mine from Fireball has just acquired some and will be 'play testing' it at Fireball in May, at our regular woodland game. I hope to have some photos to show you and a few words, by way of a review, to go with them. You don't have to wait until then, though. Why not jump straight in at the deep end, and go with your instinct?




The boots are made by Danner. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for! You can just see yourself in it, right? Just about?

Then, the really important thing to know is that this gear is now commercially available through Propper International, who have been working in tandem with DCS and recently unveiled their A-TACS range of clothing at the 2011 Shot Show. PI is a well respected clothing manufacturer that has been outfitting US military and LE professionals since the late 1960s, and anyone who owns any of their garments can testify to the fact that they are very well made [being sewn to military specifications and made from 'ripstop' fabric] and, at the same time, very reasonably priced




Curiously, having had a long hard look at the PI website last night, I couldn't find any examples of this new range on there, but the stuff is most definitely for sale! You can buy it directly from the US, from ACU.Com or, if you prefer, from at least two major retailers right here in the UK, Tactical Quartermaster and Landwarrior Airsoft

A screenshot from the ACU.Com website, followed by.....
.....one from the LWA website. They appear to be doing quite a good deal on a uniform set!
So, 'you pays your money and makes your choice', or rather the other way round! The friend I mentioned earlier from Fireball bought his direct from the other side of the pond, I think I'm right in saying. If I'm wrong, then I'll let you know next time. In the meantime, happy hunting!

Airsoft: Tour of Duty - WW2

A little while ago I posted an item about a WW2 themed game due to be held at my regular skirmish site, Fireball Squadron. Thanks to other commitments I was unable to attend but am delighted to report that the event, which took place last Saturday, April 16th, has been heralded a success by the organisers with a similar game being planned for later in the year, July 16th to be precise. Put it in your diary, you know you want to!

One of the Allied side, looking a little bit too relaxed for my liking!
Although I was unable to attend, a friend of mine who attended and played on the German side kindly agreed to pass on his thoughts about the game and has given me permission to include them as part of this post. This is what he had to say:

Hi Dave,

The game was quite good. I did enjoy it, but the allies had the upper hand [boo, hiss, bah! Ed],  being made up of people who were regulars at Fireball and knew the ground. A lot of the Germans were first-timers to Fireball [one of the organisers informs me that there were 10 players on each side and that 6 or 7 of the Germans were newbies to the site]


One of the aforementioned FB regulars about to see some action
I was really surprised as to how big the area was. It was really good to play somewhere other than Gunman Midlands or Honiley. The people were very friendly and welcoming and I wouldn't hesitate going back for the second WW2 game or even Black Op's? We didn't have much leadership on the Axis side - [well, of course, I wasn’t there.....uh hmmmm!] people just seemed to wonder around doing their own thing whereas the Allies worked in groups with their medics close to hand at all times. Ours were nowhere to be seen, so that was a little let down for me, but it seems as though this will all be sorted by the next game according to Chris on the forum. 

Another of the FB regulars, resplendent with his medic armband clearly visible! He often plays the same role at the monthly woodland games
All in all a good day. Bloody knackered after though... but good to do a shoot.

Regards

Mark


I leave you with a couple of shots of the Allied side [don't know why there weren't any shots of the Germans taken. Seems like favouritism to me!] looking for all the world like a load of self-assured, cocky, good-for-nothing layabouts! Can't wait for the next game, lads. Get ready for an ass kicking!



In all seriousness, folks, a big thanks to Chris, pictured above, and all the regulars at FB, including the management team, for organising the event and opening the site and the club hut. I really am looking forward to the next one and will certainly do all in my power to be there. Bring on July 16th!

An APB for Stephen Porter

A German infantryman, painted by Stephen Porter
Some years ago I came across a figure painter by the name of Stephen Porter and I bought some WW2 German infantry figures he had painted. At the time, he had a presence on ebay where he was known as 'oboandco' and I went on to commission a number of figures from him. Sad to say, for one reason or another, I lost contact with him and try as I might I haven't been able to get back in touch, the last known email address I have for him no longer seems to be working

So, if you're Stephen Porter and you're currently reading this, or if you know of a figure painter by that name and think he might be the man I'm after, please get in touch. You can reach me through the blog, or via email: richardschulze1944@yahoo.co.uk

I'd very much like to commission more of his work which, I'm sure you'll agree, is simple, in the sense of being unfussy, yet incredibly effective. I have included shots of a selection of the figures he has already done for me

If you can be of any help at all, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Thank you
