and if he gets the change to visit flanders: Ieper, Zonnebeke, Diksmuide are packed with remains of trenches, bunkers, dugouts, museums, cemetaries..... you just got to take your time and find them... and feel the silence around the old battlefields of world war one....

When he's around Arnhem, he must pay a visit to the airborne museum in the Hartenstein Hotel at Oosterbeek. In september 1944 the hotel was the divisional HQ of the british airbornes.

Airborne Museum

and ofcourse he must pay a visit to the Arnhem Bridge that was vital during Market Garden.

I advice him to walk "The Perimeter Route", that starts and finishes at the Hartenstein Hotel. It's a 5 km walk leading you through the 1944 Perimeter...

okay thanks guys! how great is that! i envy him a lot! but have to stay home and work! how sorry is that! but what about model shops! maybe street names!

We have a large list of those addresses. Please visit :
