PATTON

Today it´s 66 years ago Patton died.

Patton died in a car accident near Heidelberg,
an irony considering all the dangerous situatins he had been in during the war.

Patton is now bureid at a war cemetery in Luxembourg.

"No poor bastard ever won a war by dying for his country.
He won it by making other bastards die for their country."

New Association

As some know, out there. I and my brother has roots to the former Czechoslovakia.

We have been in contact with a Czech association that portrays the

British and American side of the Second World War.
Hopefully, we will try to take us to the Czech Republic next year.

As we have relatives down there

Can highly recommend the website.
