Thanks, we do our best. :blush:

We have a good working group and although we might be a little strict in applying the rules, we do try to make it a nice forum without fights or belitteling of people, etc.

And you are very welcome.

We're going to expand the English section a bit soon.

 

As for 112th IR; a friend of mine had done some research of the fighting there during the Ardennes Offensive and he got in touch with both a GI and a German soldier who literally have shot at each other there.

The GI was hiding behind a TD and the German was advancing down the hill.

How's that for an opportunity?

 

I got a photo of Nelson's HQ somewhere (how it looks now).

If there interest, I'll post it here.

Probably one of the reasons you have a good forum is because you are strict. You have to have rules and guidelines or things will go to hell. It's like running a classroom; first and foremost you must have discipline. Every good soldier knows that! :pdt34:

WOW! That is something isn't it? How often does that kind of thing occur? Yes a true opportunity. Would have loved to hear that whole story.

Absolutely! We love visuals.
