Dave-G Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Thank you for that - we are indeed very lucky to live free from wartime experiences - although Germany still has it's way with Europe - and therefore us too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aris Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Very good thanks for sharing. Went out to the beaches,cemeteries and the museum a few years ago very moving. Figgy Yes we went to the US, UK, and German cemeteries in Brittany. For me the most moving was the German one. Many unknown graves, or 14/15 year old kids. The Germans were obviously pretty desperate towards the end of the war with regards to whom them conscripted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
