      WTB: WW2/Korea era M1 Garand

      Looking to buy a shootable, good condition classic era M1 Garand, gun itself would be fine but extras are a plus. I am not looking for numbers matching, or collector grade/perfect examples as I am trying to stay on a budget. This is a surprise for my old man who has a 1911a1 and .30...

      Normandy American Cemetery and Omaha Beach covered in snow.

      A rare sight in Normandy as we rarely get snow. The Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, Normandy. The cemetery is located right next to Omaha Beach, just a few hundred yards from the beach, as you can see from the first picture.

      Meeting WW2 veterans in Normandy, and US military vehicle exhibition.

      Today I had the honor of meeting a group of WW2 veterans from Canada. They landed on the beaches of Normandy 75 years ago and today they were back in town to take part in different ceremonies in their honor. Most of them were only teenagers in 1942. It was a joy to approach them and see all...

      Upside down WW2 bunker in Normandy, France.

      I spotted this guy on the beach today. I snapped a few pictures to share with the group. It has fallen upside down on the beach and is still mostly in one piece which is quite amazing. There are lots of pieces of reinforced concrete and bent steel beams all around, scattered in a large area, so...

      Hiding WW2 tanks in plain sight, the art of misdirection during warfare.

      I've been reading about some stage magicians who became camoufleurs during WW2. I came across some pictures that I've never seen before and thought I would share with the group. I know there are some history buffs on here, those people probably won't learn anything knew. A group of painters...

      Exhibition of U.S. WW2 vehicles in Normandy, France. (2016 edition)

      That model has a towing bar on the front. Two or three Jeeps can be hooked together to tow heavy artilery pieces, or small trucks, that a single Jeep couldn't tow by itself.

Sadly, those relatives of mine are all gone now... Have a war story? This thread is for those who want to tell them...

      More WW2 Bunker exlporation in Normandy, France.

      Today I found some more bunkers to explore. Since they are partially buried they just look like small hills from a distance. You need to approach them from the right angle to be able to see the entrance.And even then it's often hidden by thick vegetation, bushes and trees. On top of that it was...
