Independence Day in the Austrian Alps

On July 4, 1945, the 101st Airborne was stationed in Zell am See, Austria, enjoying its first peacetime summer.

Colonel Sink planned a big Independence Day celebration, but rain washed out the fourth and fifth.

When the sun finally broke through on the sixth, the men threw a party they nicknamed "Sink on the Sixth," complete with gliders over the lake and a C-47 dropping twelve paratroopers into the water for fun.

One thing that becomes clear when you visit Zell am See is how much the setting itself explains the mood that summer. The lake, the mountains, the resort-town calm — it's easy to see why men who had just fought through Normandy and Bastogne treated this place like a reward.

Standing on the same lakeshore today, you can picture them finally exhaling.

Two questions about Nixon

Two questions I have about Nixon after finishing the series for the first time:

  1. Nixon says that he never fired his gun in combat. How can that be the case? He was on the frontlines, no? Did other people look at him as a coward because of this?

  2. In one of the latter episodes, Nixon is drinking after a drop earlier that morning drop in which he was his plane's only survivor. I was under the impression that Airborne dropped deep into enemy territory, so how did he just show up back at base later by nightfall?

Finally Finished my Normandy Impression

502nd PIR 101st Airborne Normandy impression: been working on it for about a year, stuff are from ATF, SITD1944, eBay and original items. I do need to replace the helmet scrim and change the trench knife scabbard.

The next installment must be the Korean War.

In the beginning, the forces were heavily pushed back, but they completely turned the tide with the Incheon Landing Operation and captured almost all of the North Korean territory. However, just when the war was almost over, there was a massive offensive by the Chinese military, resulting in heavy US casualties, repeated retreats, and control of Seoul changing hands several times.

During this process, horrific massacres occurred. What's even more surprising is that a colossal UFO crashed during this time and is still buried somewhere in Korea to this day.

It has everything: epic battles, desperate evacuation operations, and even elements of mystery. I truly cannot understand why the Korean War is known as the 'Forgotten War.' The next series absolutely must be based on the Korean War

“We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.”

“We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.”

Some displays do not need bright colours or loud signs. The SC862 Soldier Silhouette brings dignity, presence and a moment of reflection to Remembrance settings.

Grace in York said it would suit a church hall, school assembly or local club display because it feels respectful without being too much.

Where would you place it for Remembrance?

“Historically accurate” Normandy airborne landing.

“Recreating” history during the 82nd Anniversary of D-Day. Hopefully the boys of ’44 got a good laugh out of my landing.

British paratroopers Identification of friendlies on D day

On D day, did the British airborne have a method like the American clickers to identify friendly troops? Did they use passwords, like the equivalent to the American Flash and Thunder challenge and response. I’m specifically interested in the 7th parachute battalion, did they have any specific passwords?
