Very very impressive! Love this series alot.
You are like a walking WWII dictionary sia.. Really jealous of u being able to do this tour, finding the actual sites. Was very nice to see most of the roads and buildings are the same as during the war.

Thanks lon3fly3r.
It is very good that people preserve their heritage the best they can.
Even if the buildings were destroyed during the war, they will rebuilt brick by brick to the original condition.

Sorry for the lag and delay, constant continual update and posting will begin from 25 Sep onwards.

Then you will be able to see many exciting, surprising and some "never seen before" WWII photos.
Not even from History Channel. :sweat:
This was with the help of local villagers who have assist to provide me the information.

Major Richard Dick Winters


Hello everyone,

For those who have watch the HBO series Band of Brothers,
would definitely know Major Richard Dick Winters, the Big Brother and leader who lead Easy Company of 101st Airborne Division during World War II.

I regret to inform everyone that Major Winter have passed away last week on 02 Jan 2011.
The passing was kept very quiet as his family wanted it this way.

In the time of mourning we must think of all those who are still around us today.
Our time here is short and we need to appreciate the scarce time we have, and our love one who is still around.

What we have today, we must "Earn This".



In memorial of Major Richard Dick Winters
