Lights in the Sky

The local Luftwaffe defense battalion swept the skies with their radar and saw no Soviet planes.

So they switched on their searchlights and give a small show in honor of the Tiger company.

Lighting up the area with a single massive searchlight.

The searchlight are designed for use in the air, but when pointed on the ground, they turn night into day.

Then, suddenly a light goes off in the sky.

Too bright to be a flare.  And the Luftwaffe says there is no aircraft on radar that could have dropped on.

The tank commander knew why they were sent to this area.  Strange lights in the sky and unusual activity on the ground means something is up...

River Belle

My friend,  Richard, warin15mm, has purchased this little ceramic ship, the River Belle for use in his African diorama.

 

Here he as cleaned up the ship and placed a few 28mm figures on deck and at the wheel.

It will probably ply the waters of a large African lake waiting for a small English boat to attack!

Tigers and Bunkers

The first of the tanks are already through the town and out the other side, directed by more military police.

A few simple bunkers protect the eastern approaches to the town.

If the Russians get this far they will sweep past the poor Volksstrum in these bunkers.

The military police have to be careful that the tanks don't get lost,

or strike any of the buildings.

The tanks are only moving about 5 miles per hour.  Just because the mission is urgent, you can't move too quickly.
