      For some reason, only two of the photos have shown up on my computer...

            Sorry Gentlemen
            I posted these photographs that Bill very kindly sent to me, but I have since had to take them down . As I explained in another thread security has been breached on the forum as a student of mine has managed to find Gunboards and was publishing a fun article in a student paper about my eccentricities with a couple of photographs, one of which in uniform. Luckily I persuaded him not to publish that one. But the point is simply that I cannot afford to have photographs of me on the internet the way I used to . You know how it is: by the third person who has a look at my photographs, my reputation as a neo-Nazi and a fetishist would be irrevocably established... Now I have no problem in being considered an eccentric. Indeed I am proud of that! But I have no wish to be taken for a Nazi fetischist... Indeed anybody who mistakes my uniform for a Nazi one at a show, gets a comprehensive lecture on recent German history... But that is what I can do in person as a justified retaliation. On the internet I cannot do that. Or I could, but it would be too late.... There was also the other problem that on some of my photograph I was holding my perfectly legal, de-activated AKM. Now someone for a laugh could have reported this to the police and they could have sent an armed response squad. And those, in this country, shoot first and ask questions later. Indeed they passed legislation to make their behaviour safer from prosecution...
            That is why I had to delete all photobucket links and that is why you cannot see anything any more. I am very sorry. My heart was bleeding as I deleted all the links...
            And I do not hold it against my student who was eulogising me as the same time as he mocked me. But what trust and benevolence I can have for him, I simply cannot extend to all internet users...

              Hi Matteo, I fully understand your reasons for taking the pics down...reasons why I brought this thread up again was because I had Bill standing next to me in my kitchen earlier and I wanted to show him some of his pics on the net and then they were gone...??....Cheers, Torsten.

                Matteo,

                Why not just go to the Universtiy Newspaper and have them do an article on an interesting hobby that one of their esteemed Professors indulges in. It could be educational and would certainly serve to cirumvent any subsequent attempts by ill-meaning entities at the university. It will take all the fun out of it for them. It would be a kind of "Pre-imptive" strike.

                (I hope you have not deleted all of your photos on the WAF - DDR Forum). I really don't think it necessary. And it will disrupt the continuity and flow of each thread where they appear.

                Cheers,
                Michael D. GALLAGHER

                    Not all of them, no Micheel. But all those in which I appeared in uniform, I am afraid yes. So the little project I had started of a photographic record of my collection with me wearing it, has had to be shelved for good. I can still post photographs of additions to my collection (as I have recently done) but not being worn by me.
                    I am sorry for the disruption that this would bring to anybody digging in the archives, but I really had no choice. Luckily this is going to affect only rather old threads and none of the more current ones. Some of the older photographs have resurfaced on yet another forum but I think it is safer there as I cannot be recognised (I think).

                      I am glad you two have linked up! After all you should be living pretty close to each other. I know that Bill was looking for a Trapo tunic much like mine. Did he say whether he has been lucky in this quest? I hope so. If you hear from him again, do give him my best.

                        Hi Matteo, yes he does not live far away from me...he's in Warrington and I am in Bebington and its not that far away...oh, he did mention seeing you in your Trapo uniform at Crich and that is how we got to talk about you and Crich and Dave and Brian, etc...I think he may still be looking for that uniform as he did not say that he had one...Cheers, Torsten.

                          Well I'm sorry that you will no longer be gracing us with your presence in uniform here on WAF Matteo, but I can certainly understand your predicament. The internet can be a down right dodgy place. If only we could give a "comprehensive lecture on recent German history" to everyone! But some would probably still call us Nazis anyway.
