Cartoon?
Ì remember I saw this cartoon as a boy, but I do not know the name in English. Over here it was Knallhatten.

WW2 Posters
Hi People,
I was googling for "old posters" (not looking for miltary ones) and came across this link of WW2 Posters. I figured the link would go good in this thread (I hope it's not already in this thread : ) http://www.carrothers.com/billyboy/posters.htm Karmen |

Recruiting Posters
I was just about to start a new discussion about WW2 recruiting posters when I came across this interesting thread.
Some months back, I found a lot of WW2 posters on the site of http://collections.civilization.ca However, the stupid thing is that now I can’t find them! I can find only one, a recruiting poster for the CWAC. The link for this particular poster is:- http://collections.civilization.ca/p...0poster&lang=0 If someone can locate the rest of the images, I’d be most grateful to know where to look. I know there was a page with thumbnail pictures of a whole lot of posters - mainly Canadian, but from other countries, too. This CWAC poster was on the page with all the others. I’d really like to find this collection again and would greatly appreciate comments. Mike |

I don't know if THIS will help but I just GOOGLED for IMAGES "WW2 Posters" ... and came up with pages of images. Perhaps you'll find your link, or links to other sites, by clicking on the images and being taken to the pages/sites that host them? Good luck! http://images.google.ca/images?q=WW2...r=&sa=N&tab=wi Meanwhile ... I placed a link ( http://www.carrothers.com/billyboy/posters.htm ) a couple of posts back in this thread for posters, but when I just clicked on it I got a page saying it couldn't be found on the server or somesuch. Maybe the page was removed, or this computer is glitching today ... I'll delete that link after I try it again if it doesn't work again. Karmen |

The caption says: "Long live the 3- million strong Red Army!"

I-16
This is indeed the beautiful en face of I-16. I had a rare pleasure to enjoy it´s sleek, classic lines at the Artillery Museum in St. Petersburg last summer, where it hangs peacefully above peoples´ heads.
A very interesting construction, but - alas - in 1941 it was as good as PZL p11c in 1939. The greatest differences though were in their numbers: the Soviets had masses of them. The Poles - just a few. The other difference was in the quality of pilots. While the Polish approach was a thorough training, the Soviets had their ideas of achieving clear sky by means of the destruction of enemy aviation on the ground. As a consequence, the pilot training there was in the period before Barbarossa limited to 3 months. I am not sure if all pilots had their training so severely limited, but those who were to attack ground targets - had. Tak, Stellan. Jacek

Patriotic Canadian poster
Here's a poster of the Bolingbroke assembly line at MacDonald Brother's Aircraft Co. This company eventually went on to become Bristol Aerospace whose expertise in jet engines won them many contracts, one of which was to re-engineer all the afterburners of both Canada and America's F 101s.
CHIMO!

HI Mike,
Glad all is well. I talked to your dad the other day and your parents are doing great. We got our first taste of snow as there was a little along the side of the road on the way to the militaria show in Nepean. Let me know if there is anything you would like me check at your place. Cheers, Greg |
