  • The Mauser Parabellum and It's Test Firing Ammunition. Ammunition And
    The Mauser Parabellum and it’s test firing ammunition. Ammunition and ballistics, the basis of the existence of our club community, play an important role in the development of firearms that will eventually be used to fire that ammunition. That a round, even a standard round like the 9x19mm Parabellum and it’s forbearer the .30 Luger, known world wide, will not surrender itself without a struggle is shown in documents from the Mauser archives. At the end of the 1960s entrepreneurs saw several new markets for and old, classic pistol design: The Parabellum (or Luger) pistol. In the 1950s and 1960s the American consumer market was flooded with cheap military surplus firearms from Europe, annoying the major American arms produces. They feared that these importing activities would have negative effects on their own proceeds and they demanded that legislation to end the import of surplus military firearms was accepted. Interarms, one of the largest importers and distributors of surplus military firearms knew this all too well and decided not to wait for changes in legislation (which were passed in 1969). As early as in 1965, Interarms was in contact with companies like Carl Walther GmbH, Mauser-Werke AG in Germany and the Eidgn. Waffenfabrik in Bern, Switzerland. Discussed was the possibility to reproduce classic sales successes like the Walther P38, PP/K, the Mauser C96, K98, HSc and the Parabellum pistol, if needed even in the USA itself. The American import legislation influenced used guns, not new ones. After long negotiations, Mauser was prepared to take up the challenge and late 1969 the new Parabellum pistol was presented to the general public.

  • Bob Harmon by Daniel Burnstein
    2/6/02 1 Interview 2/6/02 75-80 min. DB: February 6, 2002 at Seattle University. This is an interview with Bob Harmon by Daniel Burnstein. Bob, I wanted to ask you about a couple of remarks you made in your recent letter, well not too recent, but your letter from the year 2000 to Victor Davis Hansen. On page two in the top paragraph you said that “you all knew about the horrors of slave labor and from Kaiserslautern [ in the Bavarian Palatinate; ca. 40 miles west of Mannheim. Industrial city. Royal residence since Carolingian times. Frederick I built a castle there, circa 1152 AD ] on the concentration camps.” So could you clarify what you meant by that? CRH: About the camps? DB: Yeah, that you were well-informed about the horrors of slave labor and after Kaiserslautern on the concentration camps. [ March 1945, just before we crossed the Rhine ]. CRH: The slave labor we began to run into in France, and a lot of it was Polish and, because so many of our men spoke Polish, we had no trouble communicating with these people. So, it was interesting. You had a mixture of free Poles who had lived in France since before or, recently, after the first World War. In other words they had left Poland sometime, maybe when it was still occupied by Prussia, Russia, or Austria in the ancient RAP [ “RAP” = Russia-Austria-Prussia] breakup of Poland from 1795. And they had come and found themselves a home, so to speak, in France, and had been there maybe 40 or 50 years.

    The Miami Valley Military History Museum SCUTTLEBUTT Third Quarter 2014 CURATOR'S CORNER This quarter the museum has been a “hubbub of activity” - after an article appeared in the local paper about the restoration of the Grotto and gardens, we've seen a significant increase in tour requests as well as donations of artifacts. Our goal is to have a minimum of one “event” per month...a tour, presentation, activity, etc. The past few years we've averaged about 25 to 30 events. With three months left in the calendar year, we've already reached 30, with another 11 scheduled, and a couple of pending requests for January 2015. Please help us “spread the word” - we've got a lot of great history here! The final count of military manuals, regulations, rosters etc. we received from the deaccession/donation by the Dayton Metro Library totaled in excess of 4,000 volumes; with the other general military history books on hand, we have more than 5,000 books available for research. If your kids need help with history projects we can help! We continue to expand our outreach to local communities and other historic groups. We recently joined the World War One Centenary celebration sponsored by the Imperial War Museum in London, England, and we're also now members of the Small Museums Association. An important group we now work with is the Missing In America Project (MIAP); MIAP works to locate unclaimed Veteran's cremains and ensure they get a proper burial with the military honors they deserve. For local services, any flags that are unclaimed after the service will be brought here and put on display with the veteran's information so that their story continues to be told.
