Fallschirmjäger in Russia

[Oberon]

Yeah, I've heard about the 'Area 51 of the Reich' and if even half of the stuff is true, then there's some real interesting stuff under your feet.

Didn't know it was the gateway to the Fulda Gap though...thank god the Cold War never went hot or that area would be a pretty hotly contested zone.

Beautiful countryside though, you'd never picture it as a place of war, would you?

Beautifull beaches, tons of hot chicks and strangers from alll over the world, majority in tourism are the Russians, so, "they are'nt comming, they're already here...

I pictured it with my n70 from a bus!

That looks kind of nice GG ... I spent three years in the Med underwater of course ... I'm glad we didn't nuke you ... our targets were the oil fields of Romania, but the fall out would have got you ...

...

For me (my people) it's more darker. Nobody known knows, what's down there...and when (if) - it will blow up....
'Those who speak, don't know...and those who know, don't speak... And we will get no help from the 'powers that are now', because they have their own problems and 'dark points' to hide. No help for the people of 'Naziland'.

That would be a nice place to make holiday. Your town would just to have to make comercials, that it's shure save&clean&cheap (for the 'ordianry German)' - and they whould 'flood in' and make you rich.
But if this is a good idea? I would think not. Beware the 'ordinary German' - look at Malorca...

Beware of what? We have Germans too here, as I said before, we have many nationalities here...

Maybe... It's just that I'm not 'proud' of the behaviour of 'ordinary Germans' in Malorca. Never was there ('Malorca') actually...just, what I have heart...they can be like a 'swarm of insects'....Wessis.
(Now, I will get flak from Skybird and others)...let it come. (actually 'Ossis' are the same...)

The Germans around here are a fine people, no prob with them....
Gotta see to belive it!

Smaragdadler ... is that guy in your signature in a voting booth or something? I can't tell ... even looks like it might be a video game.

I hope it's not a adult video parlor ...

It could be A. Einstein or some freak magician with a bad setup...

[Smaragdadler]

It's the 'Wizard of OZ'.
There is an 'eastern block' version of the book by Alexander Wolkow . It was the very first book I have read for my own. In the east it was not just one book - but a whole series. The first book was more or less like the american 'Wizard of OZ' of Lyman Frank Baum and had the title 'The wizard of the emerald city'. It was very popular in the GDR. Maybe like Harry Potter today...

The Wizard of the Emerald City (Russian: Волшебник Изумрудного Города) is a 1939 children's novel by Russian writer Alexander Melentyevich Volkov. The book is a loose translation of L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The names of most characters are changed, some elements of Baum's novel are removed, and some new elements are added. The book was revised in 1959 and became quite popular in the 1960s, leading to five sequels: Urfin Jus and his Wooden Soldiers (1963), The Seven Underground Kings (1964), The Fiery God of the Marrans (1968), The Yellow Fog (1970), and The Secret of the Abandoned Castle (1975, published in 1982). These sequels were written by Volkov himself and are not based on Baum's plot elements.

Volkov's Magic Land series, as it was called, was translated into many languages and was popular with children all over the Eastern bloc. Volkov's version of Oz seems to be better known than Baum's in some countries, for example in China and the former East Germany. The first four books in the series have been translated into English — or retranslated, in the case of the first book — by Peter L. Blystone, and were published by Red Branch press in two volumes (two books a volume) in 1991 and 1993. A very important cause for the big success were the pictures made by Leonid Vladimirsky.

You've never seen the Wizard of Oz?

I'm sorry it was on the wide screen when I was a little child, how silly of me.

It could've been the one of his country men in charge of Area 51 for all I know.

That one looked quite different...

Reichsflugscheiben aside, I wonder when those Fallis in Russia pictures were taken.
I suppose mid 1990s for the simple reason that I didnt see a single G 36.
Maybe it was one of the early PFP exercises.

Re Thüringen, the state is quite interesting, even though I'm totally against state patriotism, I'm german and nothing else. States have too much power in Germany and they would best be reduced to pure administrative purposes in my opinion.
The Wartburg, Eisenach, Weimar, a bunch of other nice cities as Erfurt.
Plus the whole WW2 Area 51 crap like Mittelbau-Dora, the giant underground V2 factory.
Btw, the "drei Gleichen" Area is where according to one book Germany tested a nuclear bomb in 45.
"Drei Gleichen" (wordplay, "three equals, but one of the castles is named Gleichen) area a group of three medieval castles aligned in a triangle over a large area, each sitting on a lone hill. Looks quite mysterious.

[Smaragdadler]

Yeah, that's exactly the area, where I live. The local tale has it, that during a storm lighning was stroking
all at the same time. But here almost 'every little village' has some castle or castle-ruins on the hill top above it...
