For those of you that have read this book, I took a trip to Wn 62 to link locations to the book. This is so easily done when there so here are some pics I took. This is the view of Omaha Beach from Hein Severloh's MG 42 position. To the left is the observation post used by the artillery observers fo...

Thanks for the info.

This prototype vehicle was known as the Schweres Minenraumfahrzeug (Mine destroyer vehicle). Another name for it was the Krupp Raumer-S. It was built by Krupp in 1944 and weighed 130 tonnes. It was powered by a Maybach HL 90 engine. I don't know anything about it's history at all.

"After the Battle" magazine did a very good feature on the Granville raid a few years ago.It pretty much tells the whole story.

Yes, the French did use Panthers after the war. The Syrians used Panzer IV's against the israeli's in the 1968 war and the Swiss used Hetzers for a long time after the war.

Hey, that's two of you that have slagged off "Allo Allo". It was a brilliant series. You must remember that it is a comedy series based on British ideas of German stereotypes. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Leutnant Gruber and his "little tank"! The thing that annoys me i...

I'll be there too. I've already got my accomodation booked.......
