German WW2 boxes and crates website

[Der Alder]

Hey all, I found a site that has a lot of pictures of different types of German WW2 ammo crates for those interested on building replicas or collecting. It is a French site so I can't read all that is being said, but the pics pretty much speak for themselves. The photos give you an idea of the types of construction, latches, hinges and fonts/markings used.

They don't know anything!!! Not even ONE MG34 or 42 wooden transit case!! Sure,they have every other case or box the germans ever built.....

I know...that was the first thing I looked for

I wish they'd show the inside of some of those crates as well. Those panzershreck and panzerfaust crates looked like a possible interesting replica project.

Check out too the grenade boxes with SS markings. I never knew they marked any crates like that.

I cant vouch for the authenticity of anything there, but if correct it sure is interesting.

Oops -spoke too soon. I guess you can see the insides of them if you click on the lower left "details" button on each.
