Nice. I spent a summer in Nuernberg as an exchange student.
I used to live just 30 minutes from there for like 10 years. Would go there all the time. We'll be visiting some friends of ours from back then.

Since Delta stopped flying to Stuttgart the prices skyrocketed. I was looking forward to seeing sole of the Dutch WW2 sites with you.
Coordinated today with the local Commemorative Air Force squadron here to use their hangar for the presentation on WW2 I will be doing for my wife's class in March. Not only will I be putting on a presentation focusing on the causes of WW2 and able to see up close authentic uniforms and artifacts from WW2, but the kids will also get to see up close a B-25 and a TBM Avenger.
On top of it, it looks like I am going to become a member and volunteer my time to the museum. I am sure between being a hobby historian, a pilot (yes I know they will not let me fly the planes), and a licensed A&P mechanic I can dedicate some quality time to them.

Mein Urgroßvater mütterlicherseits came from a Pferdehof near Oldenburg (Lower Saxony) and I still have distant relatives there. Visited them last in 1972. Just before the outbreak of WWI the Kaiser took the family's horses as the Oldenburg horse breed was highly prized by the German officer corps. The family farm was pretty much kaputt gegangen. As a younger son there was nothing for him. Relatives who were already in America (Chicago) sponsored him to emigrate to come to the USA. He was almost immediately hired by the CFD to care for their horses
