Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Off topic threads

[red5hilser (red5hilser]

Hey A.J. I've only met and talked to one ex French Foreign Legionaire in my 
life. It was at the old Great Western Gunshow at the L.A. fairgrounds and he 
had a table selling Legion memoribilia. He was about 5'10" and 160# of solid 
muscle. By just his demeanor and the way he carried himself, I wouldn't call 
the Beret 'gay-looking' within 50 miles of him. Have you ever seen them do 
their slow, arrogant Legion March? It puts the fear of God in me. Man-for-man, 
I'd put them up against the SS, our SF, Delta, or anybody else.

Yer pal, Ferrari Bubba

Yeah, but the Kraut tankers also had those frickin' gay-looking black 
beret/helmet things early in the war, too... Blech! (Hell, a beret is bad 
enough, whoever thought something made of black wool with no conceivable 
function whatsoever would make a great daily piece of headgear was a moron, but 
to combine it with a helmet... Yuck!)

Tigers.

Hola Bubbaâ.I think you are "right on" about the Kraut's WW2 Wehrmacht 
Officer uniforms. The standard Luftwaffe officer's garb was pretty good, also. 
Very stylish. The Brits used to say that that is what the Bosch hadâstyle. 
But, the Kraut's had some clunker uniforms alsoâ.like the all-black, 
dominatrix style SS officers uniform, or the fag powder blue one that Goering 
sometimes wore. Too bad der Fuhrer was such a twisted bastardâ..

Yer 50%Kraut pal in Sudetenland, Minnesota..

Hey John: Thanks for bringing up clothing threads ... ÂIs it just me or do 
others think that the uniform thatÂour Army General was wearing when he was on 
TV all this week looked a lot like that kind of the(former) General Field 
Marshal and President for LifeÂIdi Amin used to wear when he was the dictator 
of Uganda back in the 1980s? All our General needed was a couple of sash orders 
and a riding crop to be exact. Tacky! IMHO, I think theÂKrauts in WW2 had the 
best looking officer uniforms of all time. A grey/green tunicbuttoned at the 
neckÂwith just the correct amount of medals and breast orders, maybe even a 
Knights Cross worn on a ribbon around the neck, a black belt with either a 
Luger or P-38 in an attachedÂhard-schell holster, matching riding breeches and 
high black riding boots. Top this with a high arched officer's peaked cap and 
there you have it.

And here I was thinking that "off topic threads" was about clothing that 

doesn't have Ferrari logos on it!
