Hi Joe, I first thought that the KdF was plaster, but upon inspection, I think its paper mache (pressmasse) For Dave a description of post 35. The green heart. Thuringen was described as the green heart of the country, and had, presumably, nice countryside, and was evidently a favorite spot for visitors, hence the KdF (Kraft durch Freude) taking people for visits there. Now here I get a little hazy. I believe that the KdF was organised to take factory etc. workers, who could not afford proper holidays on free or subsidised vacations to different places, not only inside Germany, but abroard as well. I dont think I'll be doing this for each tinnie! Anyway another:- for a trip to motor show in Berlin? Regards, Pete
