Lest We Forget - Relive The Past
On my Youtube channel I did a breakdown of the 2014 movie Fury starring Brad Pitt and Shia Labeouf. I found out that the movie is featuring the 3rd Platoon of the 2nd Armored Division.

“The most relics I’ve ever seen in a single museum” That’s what me and my dad said after visiting the Patton Memorial Museum in Ettelbruck, Luxembourg. During the Battle of the Bulge Ettelbruck saw heavy fightings between German and U.S. troops. For more than a month the area was part of what the germans called […]
During my trip in Normandy I took a visit to the Airborne Museum in Sainte-Mère-Église. Without any doubt this was an amazing experience for me. I had never seen a real C47 in my life before, so this was a welcoming surprise. What surprised me the most was the amount of items they had to fill the […]

This project was done by me and my fans. Without them I wouldn’t be where I am today. Thank you very much for your service, we salute you!
Instead of writing a blog, I made a video on Youtube showing what you could do if you’re not going to the 70th anniversary on the D-Day beaches.
On March 27th 2014 the new Bastogne War Museum opened it’s doors. I was lucky to visit it a few weeks after the opening. All I can say is that I had an amazing new experience of the battle of the bulge. The battles around Bastogne is told from four different perspectives. That from a […]
Some call us rude, some find it fascinating, some don’t care, some find it interesting, some find it grave robbing and for some it’s the most exciting thing in their life. I’m talking about metal detecting on the World War 2 battlefields. In this blog I’d like to talk about the last 2 of the […]
