• Pardon the dust while the boys rebuild the site.

    The board will be in a state of disarray as I get things sorted out, for a little while at least.

    The new incarnation is using Xenforo as the system software. It is much like what we are used to, with a few differences. I will see about making a FAQ to help point out the differences for the members.

     

    One IMPORTANT difference for all of us old timers is that the 'mail' system is replaced with what are called 'conversations'/

    There is no 'Inbox' or 'Out box' or 'Sent' folders anymore.

    Think of Conversations as private 'threads' or topics that don't exist in a forum, that you start with another member. NOTE: Conversations can include more than one member if you or someone else in the conversaion, likes.
    Takes a little getting used to but I am sure you all can get a hang of it.

     

    Only a slightly modified default default Xenforo style is available for now. Once the new SAG style is ready it will be available.

    All existing users should be able to login with their usernames and passwords once the site goes up.

     

    If anyone has difficulties logging in please contact me at sixthvanguard@gmail.com.

     

    Thank you for your support and patience. I know it has been a loooong road.

Eastern Front medal

Hi guys.

I'm doing a figure of the GD Division in the final stages of the war, in France (during rest and refit). Here's what I'm wondering:

From what I've read, this medal was given out for those who served on the Eastern front in the winter of '41 up until the end of April in '42 for 60 days of service in a combat zone, or by being injured.

First question: if you were injured after April of '42, were you eligible for this medal?

Second question: If the answer to #1 is no, would you have a guess as to what rank a shutze would be by 1944/45?

Third question: Would the infantry assault badge be bronze for motorized infantry since the GD was this? Would a silver badge be inappropriate?

Fourth question: The collar tabs on the uniform. I'm guessing this should be a green backing?

Thanks for the help guys!
