My Grandfather's Photos

My grandfather was born in Silesia (now Poland) in the early 1920s. His service records suggest he joined the Wehrmacht in 1940 and was captured in the Mons Pocket in 1944, shortly after having spent June in Calais as part of the forces seeking to occupy that part of the coastline. He had spent the war attached to reconnaissance divisions on a bicycle. He was interred and remained as POW in Kent, England, until 1948(!) whereby he remained and married my grandmother, a Sussex woman.

Here attached are some photos we were sent by his brother. Forgive the quality-they were scanned at the advent of digital technology back in the early 2000s. The watermark has been recently added. Any information or collective thoughts about would be so interesting.

His name was Viktor Mika and he is pictured in a British service uniform whilst a Prisoner of War.

A terrific site for Medieval Low Fantasy

https://medievalrp.community.forum/

There's a great community I've found. It's a sort of not!Europe but with its own lore that seems to be really cooperative and fun. They run a lot of coordination on a very active discord but all the writing is pbp. Some fun and relatively easy internal game mechanics, maps and factions, the admins seem very happy to help you get set up with even your own faction or dynasty.

The warposting seems pretty epic and the magic is quite low. Just thought I'd share as it can be a rare find these days to have a very active PBP fantasy group.

Look, you’ve probably read this 1000 times. I mean, it’s the entire point of the subreddit, right?

Have been a very active gamer now for some time. I’m 35, self employed who often had large swathes of day and evening free or at least semi-afk ability. I I’ve been on EVE since 2013 but have taken a real break recently because of fatigue (nobody ever really leaves…😳) and been trying to find something.

I guess I’d like meaningful contribution that matters to the a wider community effort. I’ve been trying a bit of black desert online but it’s almost so overwhelming in its scope. A gazillion items, a gazillion mechanics, a min-max that makes EVE look perfectly comprehensible.

I played ESO online a decade ago. Played SWTOR when it came out. Played elite dangerous for a little while. I think I’m the problem, feeling a bit of burn out. I guess am looking for something a little casual but where I can contribute, be that resource farming or showing up as a body. Tried Where Winds Meet too.

Love sci fi, love fantasy, love medieval, historical, you name it. I guess I’m chasing that dream MMO that maybe just doesn’t exist yet?

Palia? Albion?

Yours hopefully 🥳
