Fascinating concept

I realize that there are many, many dedicated and knowledgeable simmers and enthusiasts here. However, consider for a moment that there are people whose passion and interest have been uniforms of various military organizations since before flight sims were on PCs; their interest is this specific slice of detail

I know that the search for information will not be limited to this forum, or even to the internet. But when I read this title, I immediately thought of a website I frequent, which deals with US militaria. I realize that this website will not be critical for the development of the first installment of the simulation. But it sprang to mind because of the depth of understanding and knowledge that certain members there have for things like uniforms. Some have been collecting and researching since the 1960s; that's a lot of experience! These are the sort of people that can tell the era that a shoulder or sleeve insignia served in by the way it looks, even if to the casual observer it looks identical to one made decades later- look, they post, this is WWII vintage because of the way the stitching joins the image to the writing here and here, they will say, and maybe add that it was only used after such and such a date. This sort of in-depth knowledge is not unusual among those people

I am sure that there are enthusiasts of this kind who participate in online forums and the like, who specialize in German, British, Italian, Polish, French, etc etc uniforms and dress regulations and practices of the second world war

So members here, if you know of such places, or even yet, if you participate there, I am sure that a wealth of information is literally right at your fingertips
