Hello, I'm Dutch, WWII freak and 16 years old. I own both an MP40 and a K98K. I visit WWII markets regularly, I'm a collector and a frequent visitor to the La Gleize WWII market. Last summer I went to Poland and Kaliningrad. This year I will go to Russia and the Ukraine to visit places around Operation Zitadelle. I have a whole library on WWII, from tank books to personal diaries. Only German though. \

Everything I do is in the WWII scene, so playing games as well. When I'm old enough I will join up with a re-enactment group in Holland or Germany

Ta-da Smile

cool dude i want to get my hands on the MP40 too, it is clasic weapon, my uncle in poland is trying to look for it, how much u payed for it?

I paid 650 euro for it.

how much is 650 euro in US dollers?
also anyways im looking for a M1 Grand and/or a Mosin Nagit... the thing is i dont know where to look...
efin Ebay doesnt have one...

Try EGUN.DE. You will find a lot of guns, most of them working. The only backstab is that this site is closely watched by the gestapo...uhm I mean stasi, oh ****, I mean the german government so you will have to have a most likely german arms license. I have a Dutch one, but it won't work in Germany. I'm half German so when I get my German Passport next year I'll be able to get a license.

Oh yes, I've had the luck to drive a Hanomag in Belgium and the honour to look at a Koenigstiger in La Gleize.

Well I am surprised about how young some people are and are interested in WWII. I am 14 years old, I just graduated 8th grade from a private school, i got the President's Education Award for the highest grades, and I am from Alabama!

I think is that because ww2 was the greatest war ever to be fought, i want to become a game designer for EA games or Activision

Allied uniforms an weapons are too easy to be found. Every market has enough GI ****, and GI stuff isn't special. It's all about the German stuff!

Don't believe you when you see mp40's being randomly sold. They are extremely rare, and what you've seen are probably replica's or weapons remade out of different pieces with different serial numbers.

its all about getting the the rarest gun, with all serial numbers the same and ofcourse, fire-ready. I know it's easy to get weapons in America, I mean, look at what at schools happen.

i can tell you have no idea how to fnid and aquire weapons if you say its hard to find, or "rare" you can buy anythign you want, hell you can still buy soviet tanks. you just need to find the right people.
the Mp40 Full auto is illegal here, so you will not find it in a newspaper, just have to know the right people, and its easy to get weapons anywhere,
the people are to blame not gun laws, i hope you are not implying that,
most criminals use illegal weapons, not store bought, and there is nothing wrong with the US allowing us to arm ourselfs, we need it in case we have to stand up to our government, that is why the "Right to bear arms" was put there. even german uniforms are easy, http://aboutww2militaria.com/index.html?ger_uniforms.htm
about you saying the Gi stuff isnt special, maybe, but the mp40 is 9mm, the Thompson is .45cal, hmmm...

I just couldn't let it go...

"...and there is nothing wrong with the US allowing us to arm ourselfs, we need it in case we have to stand up to our government, that is why the "Right to bear arms" was put there. "

This is one of the funniest thing I've seen lately. How many times lately have you stood up to your government while bearing arms and how many people died lately in US by firearms while involved in other sorts of "actions" besides standing up to your government?

I hope this doesn't turn out to some political discussion but I'd really like to know.

As long as it all stays friendly and calm, I'll keep this thread open. If it begins to go South I'll have to lock it.

it has not happened really, but that is not the point it is a precaution, just like getting insurance, or locking your car at night. its there for just incase, and if you read on US history that is what it is for. here are some statements from our founding fathers about government

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote! --Benjamin Franklin

The founding fathers of the American Constitution and Bill of Rights would be very concerned by what passes for Patriotism today. The "Love It or Leave It" patriots who would declare that any who speak against the actions of the American government were at least unpatriotic, and some would say traitors. The founding fathers had no love for government, not even our own. They assumed that power corrupts and that government is inherently a powerful force. Their lack of faith in politicians and government in general is to be found everywhere in the Constitution and Bill of Rights as well as many of their well documented quotes as Ben Franklin's above.

This is precisely why they protected individual rights against government in the Bill of Rights and constructed the checks and balances between the legislative, judicial and executive branches. The founding fathers knew there would be abuses of power by officials in power. This is why they lay such great oversight responsibility in the congress, since, congress was supposed to be the champion of the people's causes. The founding fathers could not then foresee the congress placing political power protection ahead of the people's causes as has occurred far too often today. Had they foreseen it, they certainly would have devised a protection against political parties influence in government as well.

For the founding fathers patriotism was not toward government, but, toward the union of people under the banner of liberty from oppressive government and justice for abuses of governmental power.

Note this from George Washington:

"Government is not reason. Government is not eloquence. It is force. And, like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." And these from Thomas Jefferson:

"Never trust a government that doesn't trust its own citizens with guns." "When government fear the people there is liberty. When the people fear the government there is tyranny." "Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." And James Madison states:

"I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." Those today who claim to be patriots while deriding any who challenge the actions and motives of political leaders are foolish. They should take note of Ben Franklin's warning, "No man's life, liberty or fortune is safe while our legislature is in session."

Franklin also states:

"It is the fist responsibility of every citizen to question authority." The patriotism of the founding fathers was not toward our government. They didn't trust our government or any government since government is the seat of power and power corrupts. It was to the peoples of the colonies who were willing to sacrifice their property and lives for freedom from tyranny and for self-determination that their patriotism was directed. Today, as then, our patriotism should be directed toward our Constitution and Bill of Rights, and to our brave soldiers who are willing to make the sacrifice to defend our rights to freedom and self-determination. BUT, we are foolish to direct our patriotism toward our leaders or the government that puts our young troops in harm's way, or which promises with the mouth and reverses those promises with their actions.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Our allegiance is to what the flag stands for, one nation guided by just laws which preserve and protect the liberty for all and administers justice to those who abridge those liberties for personal gain or profit. And that includes our politicians, who place the protection of their power above the interests of the public at large.

Such a big text for one simple question.
I'm not questioning anything that Jefferson, Franklin and Washington said (I actually love reading quotations of good ol' wise people) but again I'd really like to know numbers involved. Simple statistics. And a honest opinion. Is it justified?

There are a few rare "intemporaly" texts but normaly one as to put them in perspective every day that passes by.

Its true with constitucions, sacred books, or just the civil code. After all they are all wrighten by Man.. on a special ocasioan.

Personaly I don´t see any reason to have arms, collecting, hunting.. I dislike but I can understand, the others I don´t.
Well, at list not in a developed country.

The world would be a better place if the
laws that are literaly aplyed from a 250 years old book, or a 2000 one, where reinforced by their contemporary weapons.

Im 13 s2 in scotland no idea in english or america terms and i know lots about ww2 but not as much as some. Like the british had a anti tank weapon called the piat a troop carrier called the bren gun carrier and we also had a mine clearing tank called the matilda scorpion and that the lee enfield was the fastest firing bolt action rifle in the war.

whell i was 12 when i got this game now im 13 =)

i'm 13 and this is like the best game ever.
