That is a great clip! I haven't flown any model airplanes, so I don't know how hard it is. Surely, however, to make that big thing lose control, regain it and then land must be no easy feat. :shock: Also, the remote control that the gentleman is using must have a really strong signal, because that B...

Tom, No, I have not searched those documents. Are they accessible as a sort of public record, that might be obtained from a internet database? I guess, I could always ask some of my older relatives, but most are either dead, or from what I've heard, still very sad about his death and probably don't ...

Reb, Thank you for the info! :D I'll have to do some research about D-Day and his particular unit. You're certainly right about the hedgerows -- apparently the sniper that shot him was hiding out in one. I'm sure those things made good sniper nests, as they appear big and thick from pictures I have ...

Hi Starke, I cannot add more than what Maigewitter has suggested, other than perhaps he was part of a flak-unit. This guess is sadly based on only one caption to a picture that I saw awhile bacrecently where a couple of young soldiers had similar collar patches and were described as manning a flak c...

Shipping U-Boats by rail?
Hi guys, After watching the movie "Das Boot" awhile back, I got to thinking (or maybe this was brought up earlier on this site...don't know) about why the U-Boat in the movie had to slip past the Strait of Gibraltar? Would it not have been less risky to have to the boat shipped by rail fro...
