If you’re ever ower Germany get yerself to Colditz. It’s between Leipzig n Dresden. Greatest tourist thing I’ve ever done and the only one I’ve ever bigged up on here. Id watch/rewatch and read/reread the TV series and the books it was based on before going. There’s also a Colditz from the Germans side of things book, watch the fillum anarl.....Mebbes even play the board game. :lol:

BTW the bloke behind building the glider died last week, he also drove in the first F1 race. Family obviously had money but the obituaries sounded like a life lived.

I've done this recently. You are correct - best touristy thing I've done.

And the board game has been played ..... ;)

Obviously The World At War is the gold standard of WWII documentaries but I`ve just seen a couple on the National Geographic channel that some of you might be interested in.

There`s one on Das Reich including its atrocities at Orador-sur-Glane and one called Inside The SS which includes interviews with surviving members of the SS talking relatively recently about their experiences some have renounced their extreme views but a couple who horrifyingly show no remorse and indeed still justify their actions today.

Two fascinating (both two parters as well) documentaries including footage I hadn`t seen before and eye witness accounts. Should still be available on the National Geographic channel and well worth watching.

Don't watch Hunting Hitler - It is lies trying to spread gossip. Hitler died in his bunker.

His one about what happened to Nazis after the war is fascinating. Apparently the Israelis hired Klaus Barbie as a double agent - the same fucker who gassed thousands of them.
