A nazi one.

Some kind of push-pull thing. That's all I've got.

That was an Donier DO 335 push/pull type fighter the Germans built late in the war. I believe it holds the record for being the fastest propeller driven aircraft of WWII.

Yep. Imagine how WWI could have been different had the Germans got a hold of large numbers of that rifle.

I heard her sweet whine for 10 years. That's the "powerpack" as we called it for the M1A1 Abrams main battle tank.

Based off of the spike on that one cat's head, I'd go with the Prussian army.

Well damn. That's the only picture of this I could find. The picture shows two US Army soldiers who are members of the Washington Artillery and are wearing Model 183 dress uniforms. What was odd about these uniforms is the fact hey came with "Pickelhaube" style helmets that most people associate with German troops. But in reality, US troops wore this style helmet as well in the late 19th & early 20th century.

Well the guy on the far right appears to be a Confederate Army officer but I cannot see enough of the picture to tell his rank. The others appear to be wearing a mixed bag of Confederate, Federal, and even a American Revolution era hat.

I'm really not sure what this picture is.

My dad grew up in the barracks and has that eagle emblem at his house right now. Old as sin. Probably worth money.

Yeah I can see it. IT's just that there appears to be some things in it that don't really fit. Where did you find it and can you tell me the story behind it?
