A few months ago I spotted these two doing a decent re-enactment of a pair of Kreigsmarine Submariners.

Anyone got anything like this to share?

^Crikey that's a bloody big picture, I've resampled it a bit, I thought this forum had implemented an automatic image re-sizer thingummy?

I wonder about the binoculars; those two in the pic do look good! Considering the nature and lifestyle of a con-watch crew at all times while surfaced...utterly critical equipment! Being a Civil War reenactor myself and stressing total authenticity:shucks: I have a correct period pair (practically useless opera glasses-given the inferior prismatics of the era; Bad optics probably cost Lt.Col. Custer the Little Big Horn!) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2319347/Resurfacing-68-years-The-binoculars-taken-U-boat-commander-moments-crew-surrendered-end-World-War-11.html (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2319347/Resurfacing-68-years-The-binoculars-taken-U-boat-commander-moments-crew-surrendered-end-World-War-11.html) http://www.gjaltkemp-scheepsantiek.nl/images/stories/virtuemart/product/slim_cor001.jpg
