Well it's that time again, annual retrospective.
Another extremely busy and fruitful year......
With some personal highlights being;
The 2013 late entry "Best Bits".
A real museum piece - completely overlooked.
A fine group to a "SWAT" Policeman.
A bar to be proud of.
A 47 year late catch up, 46 years too late.
A 42 year late catch up.
A pile of goodies to a national treasure.
A truly tragic story.
There's only one first.
A group to a Machinegunner adding to his account on the last day of the war.
Then there are the items that have been "knocking about" for a while but have only just been reunited with research;
A fantastic group to a death defying partisan turned state security commissar.

The forum has continued to be a large fountain of knowledge and factual information as well as ever expanding - over 60 new sections in 2014 alone!
Looking forward to 2015 there is still a vast amount of work to be done and an ever flowing stream of research to present. There will probably also be quite a few new sections added to the forum to accept these new posts.
My focus has changed slightly and the posts of 2015 will slowly reflect that slight change. Hopefully there will be a considerable amount of fresh posts in 2015 - that being said I still haven't finished posting the Lobzhanidze or Cukiernik groups.
Lots of goodies out there for everyone.... still lots of opportunities for all to obtain and present items and information.
I can also end this as I did a year ago by saying that I may have already picked up one of the highlights of 2015.
