Slapton sands in Devon. In the video I mentioned Omaha I meant Utah … sorry 🤣

Since I'm visiting Dunkirk for a couple of days in August, I thought I better read up about it.

Visited Davidstow airfield today, it was the home of the USAAF in 1942 and then costal command from 43-44. In the past I’ve been able to go inside the derelict control tower but it was blocked unfortunately. There’s lots of old buildings still there and it’s worth a visit if you’re in the area

Steve and I are not doing a trip together this year. However I have begun planning for 2027 when we will be visiting Poland. The trip will take in 5 concentration camps / prison camps, some of the Jewish ghettos and some weird N**i sites that are as yet unexplained, like Muchołapka (also know as Hitler's Stonehedge).

This year on my way by car to UK from Sweden I'm taking a couple of extra days en route to visit Nijmegen, Kiel, Flensburg and a couple of days in Dunkirk..

Currently reading about Victor Gregg (1919 - 2021). He fought at in the Desert, in Arnhem and was a prisoner of war who also witnessed the bombings at Dresden. I found out about him when reading about the 10th battalion training at Somerby.. He lead an amazing life.

His grave is at the 10th Battalion memorial - He was the last of them to die, the Last Man Standing.. in his own words he wrote..

“I’ve been thinking, a dangerous occupation, I know. Being the last man standing brings certain obligations. I’m thinking about parking up for good, I want to keep those boys company on this lonely hill. I don’t have a date sorted yet, but – you do the rest; dig the hole and I’ll supply the co**se. I want no glory – just mark my place with a simple stone inscribed: ‘An Arnhem Paratrooper’.”.
