Hi guys,

Some more period pictures of a wehrmacht desk, with the same documentbasket as mine and a picture of a Volksempfanger, as on my cabinet.
Many wehrmacht desk photographs i've seen are showing a map on the wall so i had no choise to find me one, a Sonderausgabe of Antwerp, 1941.
Cleaned up the desk a little bit (it was getting to much), and put a difficult to find "Ortskommandatur Antwerpen" 1943 stamped document on the desk.

Thanks !

Can you show a close up of the MG42 technical poster?

[nibelung1876]

Hi Adam,
As requested, a close up of the wall chart.
It's a chart from the Bundesgrenzschutz, from the early years after the war, using the original MG42 and titled as such.
The wall charts of the later Bundeswehr where titled MG2/MG3 with Nato ammo.

Greetings.

[Adam S.]

That's wonderful thank you! Along with my WW2 collection I have a small vintage poster collection (non WW2) so this so sort of thing interests me.

Is it dated on the poster at all?

[nibelung1876]

There is no date, but at the bottom of the chart it says "only for use by the Bundesgrenzschutz and Bepo".
If i'm correct the Bundesgrenzschuts was established in 1951 and went over in the Bundeswehr in 1956, so there you have the age.
Bepo should be the Bundespolizei, same dates i think.
Thanks for your interest Adam.
