Winter 1941/42 was extremely harsh and Germans were unprepared for such a cold. But they learned from it and took a lot of countermeasures. Below is nice overview of it with lot of images. https://de.wikiversity.org/wiki/Direktiven_zur_Maschinenpflege_unter_Winterbedingungen_(1942) -

The items just arrived this afternoon Ian...The hat is gorgeous, dated 1942, the Pilots Plotter is from the Cold War Era....seemingly, worn on the leg of a Fighter Interceptor aircraft Pilot..be it a Hunter or EE Lightning.....its in amazing condition...the seller chucked in a few WW2 Dated East Asia Command Phoenix magazines as well...he says they came with the RAF Bush hat...from someone who served in India during WW2....:) Not a bad buy for just over £20 inc postage...:)

Gents, Thanks for the reply. I belive that once the optics section is up & I start posting & putting the word out to my fellow optics collectors we will get some traction. We could start with a catch all Optics forum but it would be nice to have sub forums for different nations, periods,ect & an accessories section. As soon as it’s up & running I will start posting. 🤓 Glen. -
Why does'nt then MCN almagamate it all in to All optics from WW1 and WW2.....to our present day? That would (I hope) give us more interest in it, as it is important part of all warfare. Desert Rat

I agree Lenny, Sorry to others who support this new idea, yes it would be good but are there many who are really interested in this?.....Maybe we hope! Desert Rat

Hi @Whsammler, of course, happy to add that section. My only worry is that we're not getting much traffic, people seem to not be botghered about using the forum, which is sad..

Hello Val, Superb items on this link, WOW!....Where do people find these items? Brilliant & Many Thanks....Desert Rat

Oh, And winging its way to me now is an RAF 1943 dated, Bush Hat, along with a WW2 dated Pilots kneeboard with maps, plus the satchel for holding same,...once belonged to a pilot based in India during the war...should be here on Thursday... Cost?? £15 for both...just what the seller asked for, so sent him £25...:)
-
LOL...I do know, I have been extremely lucky with some of my finds...:) This week, I bought for the massive price of £2.50, an original photograph of a Gladiator Bi Plane, reason being, I had seen the remains of "Faith" I think it is, in the Malta Museum...and wanted a pic of the same type, so, anyway, bought it, and only this evening, after a wee bit research online, find out its an original official photo of the prototype of the aircraft, maybe not very valuable...but, gold to me........:) https://www.thisdayinaviation.com/tag/k5200/

Hello Eric, Thanks for showing us this WW2 German "Spud Masher" value as in this condition should be about £200 + depends on the buyer. Why don't you advertise it here on MCN....It's free and add more images, put your price on it and see if you get some interest. I have one for sale now but a WW1 French Hairbrush grenade....exceptionally rare! Good Luck & Best to you.....Desert Rat -
Most certainly we need optics section here too, WAF is sinking. @Lennycan help you.
