• 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.

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

Feldpost uniform?

I have some photos of the field post master in a kubelwagon. The license plate starts with FP instead of WH, WL, or SS.
Ebay sells feldpost armbands.

Now the question... what uniform would feldpost wear?
In the Luftwaffe?
 
He would be wearing the regular Luftwaffe uniform according to his rank, just the shoulder boards would indicate he was with the feldpost section
 
From what little I know on the subject, I would say that's 100% correct. This is based on the Cyber-Hobby Heer Felpost release. Shoulder boards had yellow piping with "FP" cypher on them, the collar tabs also had yellow on them and the figure came with a Feldpost cuff title. Everything else was regular issue uni and gear with the exception of the mail bag.

The Soulderboard cyphers would have been discontinued very early on. Usually each branch of service had a Felpost or FP cuff title in their style, or an armband for temporary assigned personnel.
