Welcome to the online version of "Sharky's Bunker"! The pages on this site will document and display the many items that I have in my large and diverse collection. The bulk of the collection centers on the Post-Ww2 German services, in particular, the Bundesgrenzschutz (BGS) and Bundesanstalt Technisches Hilfswerk (THW). You will also find sections covering the various Communist Block countries of the Cold War, the West German Army (Bundeswehr), West German Police and Fire Departments, and even sections that cover some of the older WW2 and pre-WW2 eras. To satisfy the folks with more modern tastes, I have included pages with the more modern military and tactical items in the collection. I think that you will find a little bit of something here for everyone!
You can navigate the site by using the Page Topic Headers and Drop-Down Menus along the top of each page, or use the Quick-Link subject buttons below. Take your time, explore and enjoy!
The collections are in no way complete, and they are ever growing, so check back often to see what has been added! You will find my Website Blog at the end of the menu topics. I will keep you up to date on all of my various adventures there, so keep it bookmarked!
I would like to thank my very good friend in Germany who has helped with acquiring many of the hard to find BGS and THW items in the collection. Your help, knowledge and assistance with my BGS and THW research has made this a much more enjoyable and fruitful endeavor. Thank You! I would also like to thank the various "old guard" BGS veterans who answered my questions, gave me invaluable bits of information, steered me in the right direction when I was adrift in my research, and even gifted some personal BGS items........ and most of all "Thank You" for allowing me to glimpse a little bit of your BGS world. A big "Danke!" to each of you! I hope you enjoy the collection.
