After some much needed maintenance and with the help of my good friend Andreas the Dodge is once again battle worthy! We swapped out the ignition and now the engine purrs again like a happy kitten. New (Dodge) adventures await!
A successful tour of the Arnhem battlefields today! Temperature was up to Spring level which was nice for a change. Amongst the locations visited was the Urquhart house where the general spent an uncomfortable night surrounded and far from his HQ.
Another day on the battlefields completed successfully! This time the focus was on Easy Company and the battles they fought in The Netherlands. With two friends from the USA we had a wonderful day out and about. The picture is the official Easy Company monument in Nuenen.
A rather wet day didn't make today's battlefield tour of Arnhem an easy one but with four fabulous guest from the USA we made the best of it. Pictured is the Ginkel Heath with the "new" memorial that has just been moved in the background.
A very busy day on the battlefields today, first a full day Market Garden battlefield tour with a lovely couple from the USA. One of the locations was Grave Bridge (picture). Then on to Nijmegen for a lecture on the liberation of the Netherlands on a Viking ship.
Attended a very interesting lecture today in the Airborne museum in Oosterbeek. The topic was the modern day medical care of the Dutch Army from Battlefield to Hospital, really an eye opener.
This morning I did a recce of STALAG VIIA, Moosburg. One of the many prisoner of war camps in Germany. A number of men from the 100th Bomb Group were there at the end of the war so it was interesting too visit after watching Masters of the Air. Not much remains though.
The war memorial in München near the Residenz commemorates the dead from the First and the Second World War, the soldiers and the civilians. It is a pretty powerful monument in its simplicity.
Almost out last visit of the Sea The World battlefield tour was the mountain town of Berchtesgaden where we braved the snow, visited the Berghof and the town itself with the famous mural.
After yesterday visiting the house where Day Turners actions lead to him almost single-handedly stopping a German counter attack and a Medal of Honor. Today we visited his grave on the Luxembourg American Cemetery and paid our respects. On tour with Sea the World travel.
This is what makes a tour special, taking the guests to a location where their family members fought during the war. In this case we visited Houffalize, Belgium, because these guests had a relative who fought there in the 2nd Armored division. On a Sea the World battlefield tour.
Good morning from Bastogne! I'm at the Mardasonne memorial where they installed new and good looking fences to replace the ugly temporary ones that were here for years. However it does mean that the monument will not reopen any day soon.
The dragons teeth near Paustenbach on the outskirts of the Hurtgenwald, a great location to see them from up close. These were part of the Siegfriedline, a fortified line of bunkers and anti tank obstacles that ran from Switzerland to Nijmegen.
A visit to Margraten American Cemetery is a humbling experience, we visited the cemetery just now on the Sea the World battlefield tour and paid our respects at the graves of the soldiers. We also visyed my adopted grave of Richard L Walsh, 83rd Infantry Division.

Thanks to that house on the left, the Maison de la Mer (green), we can accurately place this photograph. Although now demolished, the house sat between the Rue Amiral Courbet and the Rue Jean Jollivet. Lt Cdr Curtis is bringing 519 in along the line of the red arrow.
This picture was taken by Captain Evans of the Army Film and Photographic Unit from the deck of LCI(S) 519 as they approached Sword Queen Red beach. The time is 0840 and the landing craft is about to touch down on schedule.
The @TheDDayStory and partners present an online exhibition in the lead up to the 80th anniversary of D-Day in WW2 Object 44: This photograph was taken on board a landing craft that was only seconds away from touching down on Sword Beach. bit.ly/3PryxXL #DDay80
Currently deep into Tunisia ground planning for my next visit - this is just one small area for the @irishbrigadeww in 1943. And what a story it was. Triumph and Tragedy in equal measure. #Tunisia81

What an amazing start to the 'Brothers in Arms' tour with the author of the same, James Holland. Fantastic weather after breakfast on Sword Beach this morning. It's good to be out working with Tripsmiths and Battle Honours in Normandy.
1 We spent today touring the 106th Cavalry and 79th Infantry Division area on the western flank of the battle for La Haye du Puits - all part of getting a sense of the terrain for the book
Arnhem bound today. We will only cover the main bridges. To do all 36 bridges (the overall total for the operation) would I think be going a bridge too far. But the sun is out, and we are on time for our crossing.
April 27th 1982: An FCO Sitrep from this day looks at the repercussions from the taking of South Georgia. Amongst other points discussed in this, is the accidental shooting of Chief Petty Officer Felix Artuso on the Santa Fe.
April 27th 1982: 11 MCM Squadron leave Portland Bill heading south. Converted minesweeping trawlers, HMS Cordella, Junella, Farnella, Northella and Pict. The latter, originally designated the stores ship, had her stores distributed in case she was lost, so that all could operate.
True dedication by @PaulBingley at Ridgewell...
Few people notice this, but it's one of the best things I've ever done. RAF Ridgewell's information board.
This gem by M Fryszman from 1939 took so much work to get it into print. I used it in my book If War Should Come.
I'm now packing for my next trip to Tunisia. The trip's focus will be to better understand the Axis challenges and mentality in surrendering in May 1943. Walking the ground is a good start. It makes you 'think'. #Tunisia81
To counterbalance A Bridge Too Far and the many Market Garden books containing old facts you should also read the latest information. You can always learn more. 😉 My books are based on verified primary sources. (Retweet, please.) pre-jump.nl
