That confirms it, I have a Takom M3 Grant in the stash and wanted to add it to the GB. It was way to late for the M3’s unfortunately...........I think......

One big celebration this week is at Bayeux cemetery. Was there with the kids in 2015 and it's really powerful. The kids were actually quite upset by it as it has a fairly big German section and many of them were Hitler Jugend, so only 16-18 years old. My kids were 14 and 17 at the time so it really came home to them that these kids who were dying were the same age as them.

Wow, I sure would have liked to have been there for that............

Wondering if I can source a 20mm Breda now...

Was looking into 21st PD in Normandy and stumbled across this, what a collection of vehicles!  Really tempted to pick up the Trumpeter 105 SPG on the Hotchkiss chassis.

Thank you Martin for the Wochenshau clip, it gives a good impression of uniforms and equipment from the time period.
