Military artists tend to paint the two extremes of the soldiers life; at one end the subject is rendered in his parade best uniform, pressed and spotlessly clean, and at the other extreme locked in heroic combat defeating his enemy. Friedrich Ludwig Scharf took the middle road, painting the troops as they looked going about their daily duties.

Scharf, on one hand an artist, had also been a career Jager enlisted man, rising to the rank of Offizierstellvertrater in 1918. He spent most of his wartime service on the Eastern front where he observed and fought with the Cavalry regiments, as well as the Reserve and Landsturm troops assigned to that front.

In his paintings the uniform historian and military modeler will find accurate and sometimes amusing representations of what Scharf actually saw. The ill-equipped Landsturmers with outdated uniforms, the Cavalry still mounted dashing about the Russian front, Flamethrower troops, ski troops and even a Franciscan monk in military service were captured in his watercolors and linoleum block hand-colored prints.

This book is a must for the serious student of the uniforms of the German forces from 1910-1939, portrayed in the unique style of Friedrich Ludwig Scharf, 1884-1965.

Perfect for your sink organization
Color: Silver Grey
I have searched many sites for a product that will fit on our sink for all our kitchen and dishwashing needs and I finally found this product which proper fits with our kitchen decor and fits perfectly on our sink and it is very strong. I’m not worried about it breaking it anyway. Well with the price.

Love it
Color: Mattle Black
We'd been looking for a sponge holder we liked for a while andy wife came across this one. We were not disappointed. It's plenty big to hold a handful of sponges and scrubbers, plus our hand soap. I like the design that lets excess water drip back into the sink. Looks pretty low profile and sleek too

Keeps the water off your counter!

Works great! I’ve been looking for a solution to stop the sponge water from spilling onto the counter! Liked nice and neat. Great for keeping everything neat and organized. Size is perfect for sponges and nail brush and a small soap bottle.
