Only when i visit the Mother-in-law, no that's battleaxes isn't it.
On a serious note i did go to Normandy a long time ago and found it very moving.

LOL

I never been to Normandy but it must be an impressive place indeed.

Put it on your to do list, and then prioratise the list,i know it sounds simple but anything is doable, it's always the cash that's the problem.i had to wait even though i had two jobs on the go. my advice, do it while you are single.

I'm well impressed with you video and the field trip,I see that the team are very professional,but I needed the video to go on and on,very interesting,maybe you can do more soon,some coordinates might help us that are interested as to where exactly you were, and reflect how the suffering that was endured on the Eastern Front, by all concerned.
thanks again Lars

Thanks a lot Rusty

Very nice trip indeed. I hope the video was not too long.

My SATNAV is in the car (of course) but in Google Earth i can see it should be in the general area of the following coordinates.

54 50'33.50 N / 32 38'42.88 E

I will hopefully go out again in a not too distant future. I have two other expeditions planned in September and October, but will do one or two before if time permits me to. I also got a Soviet and a German helmet, glass bottles and so on.

Regards, Lars

got any pics?

Rusdat · 28-07-2013, 20:09

No, but check the YouTube link i posted above

I normally make videos when i go to the battlefields. I actually forgot to take pics

There's a bit of off road driving in the beginning.

If you mean pics of the helmets i can take some tomorrow. They are in the garage.

Cheers
