Mikes bikes. Take the tour if you can ride a bikeI'll be in Munich in a few months, definitely am interested in learning more about WW2, thanks for sharing!
+1. I did the tour with them in Munich and then again in Amsterdam. This was way back in 2001 so my experience is from over 20 years ago but it was a lot of fun.Mikes bikes. Take the tour if you can ride a bike
Try to check out Dachau on the outskirts of Munich if you're interested in Holocaust related history. Sobering and kind of chilling experience.I'll be in Munich in a few months, definitely am interested in learning more about WW2, thanks for sharing!
This channel (been a big fan of for a while now) also recently did an amazing series of videos on Antietam and Lexington/Concord.Interesting series on a tour of WWII related points of interest in Munich
Yes, I have been watching this channel for a while also.This channel (been a big fan of for a while now) also recently did an amazing series of videos on Antietam and Lexington/Concord.
Saw the Netflix movie starring Colin Firth recently. The book might be something I should add to the reading list.One great read is Operation Mincemeat which used a dead body as a fake clue to the allied invasion to throw off the Nazis and Hitler.
Posted on this before, but my wife's dad was in the same platoon as Audie Murphy from Italy to France and then Germany. Got to hear some amazing stories (and everything you may have ever heard about Murphy's fearless heroism is true) - he was interviewed a few times for TV and print stories.Total WWII histry buff here recentlty finished reading these books by Alex Kershaw,
First was the Liberator follows the battlefield journey of US army officer Felix Sparks from Sicily to Munich. Amazing to say the least
The other was Against All Odds follows 5 MOH recipient ( Audie Murphy and others) and their wartime and back at home lives during and after WWII.
Both amazing detailed accounts.
One of my favorite genres are stories of Resistance and Spy networks in France and Spain led by the British SOE. One great read is Operation Mincemeat which used a dead body as a fake clue to the allied invasion to throw off the Nazis and Hitler.
if you have other great books pass them on
His division produced over 40 MOH recipients More than twice as many as others . Its an amazing story that has not received the same exposure as D- Day to Germany Campaign.Posted on this before, but my wife's dad was in the same platoon as Audie Murphy from Italy to France and then Germany.

The picture of the guards running around the pit of dead bodies as a means to stay in shape was the most eye popping thing there imho. Now you want to to see a camp, feel chills, and walk away changed, do Auschwitz.Try to check out Dachau on the outskirts of Munich if you're interested in Holocaust related history.

Bet he and my grandfather knew each other. Same....Posted on this before, but my wife's dad was in the same platoon as Audie Murphy from Italy to France and then Germany.

Was really more the German high command obsession with Patton. Sitting Patton with inflatable tanks and wooden ships for 3 days did more for d day success than anything else but all good stories!Total WWII histry buff here recentlty finished reading these books by Alex Kershaw,

I'm heading there next month to see ankor wat and the Taj. We're taking a day to go see thisThe concentration camps must be an unbelievable visit. I went to The Killing Fields in Cambodia and that was an experience. No one knows exactly how many died. The Khmer Rouge were not the meticulous record keepers that the Nazis were but estimates were 1.5 to 3 million people were killed. Since the population of Cambodia at the time was only about 7 million potentially over 40% of the population was killed.
No gas chambers. All done by hand. There's a stupa (burial building) there with 5,000 skulls inside. Chilling
Powerful video, yet somber and respectful. Really well done by JD/creator.
This is the tour I took about five years ago. Not only the Killing Fields but the converted high school building which became the notorious prison in the center of Phnom Penh.I'm heading there next month to see ankor wat and the Taj. We're taking a day to go see this
