Made famous by the Daily Mail in 2009, one of the collection of seven Divisional Beer Mugs is the perfect way to enjoy a cold brew and at the same time support the maintenance and running of the website. The hefty pint mugs are adorned with the seven shields of the premier Waffen-SS Panzer Divisions – all lovingly hand-painted – and every toast is made with a resounding clunk.
