Thanks for the praise guys. We have spent a lot of time putting this MOD together. I was responsible for all the textures and tried (to my best knowledge) keep historical accuracy. If there are any questions/suggestions about ranks/awards you can either PM or contact me dirtectly at conus00@columbus.rr.com. I have spent COUNTLESS hours on the textures and I'd really like the mod to be as acurate as possible.
Enjoy!

You think wrong...
The undershirt actually had the Reichsadler on the chest printed on not a patch. Here is the actual historical piece of the fabric:
Also as far as being "staunch nazi supporters" you are 100% right but I believe that these shirts were standard issues in the Kriegsmarine and had nothing to do with individual's ideology. But I might be wrong.... As I said earlier we strived for maximum historical accuracy and every small thing I have done with textures was (to certain extent) supported by historical documents.

Yep, that was bit complicated (I was myself getting lost in my own texture files and Photoshop layers
:rotfl
but worth it. Unfortunately that's why the download is about 80MB for low-res and (I think) over 300 MB for hires....
