I post up a ride report called "The Hitler Tour"
7 of us are going to;
Reichswald Forest War Cemetery - Colditz - The Eagles Nest - Dachau concentration camp
My second cousin is buried in a Commonwealth War Grave at the first stop, and the others, we just want to see. Someone christened it the Hitler Tour and the name stuck.
We're also visiting Wank, Fucking & Cunter...just for a photo by the signs.
Anyway, if someone get the Arse because of the title, it's unintentional.

"The trails of the world be countless, and most of the trails be tried.
You tread on the heels of many, till you come where the ways divide.
And one lies safe in the sunlight, and the other is dreary and wan, Yet you look aslant at the Lone Trail, and the Lone Trail lures you on....
....Bid good-bye to sweetheart, bid goodbye to friend, The Lone Trail, the Lone Trail, follow to the end.
Tarry not, and fear not, chosen of the true;
Lover of the Lone Trail, The Lone Trail waits for you"

Re: Who's going to be offended if........
Sounds about the right description to me :whistle:
I defy anyone of you not to shed a tear when you read the book of rememberance at the war cemetery. Last visited one near the border with Holland (can't remember the name, but it was in a huge forest) and the writings left by those that had lost comrades during the fighting broke me.
Safe trip - looking forward to the photo call on your return.

Re: Who's going to be offended if........
I've always visited WW1 & WW2 sites when on the continent I visited Dachau 2 years ago & found it very moving a guy in the club I drink in said he couldn't understand anyone visiting the concentration camp sites I replied everyone should go & then they would realise what man is capable of doing to his fellow man.
***just like Britney Spears oops I did it again……sold the Scrambler & as of now there may not be a replacement***
Re: Who's going to be offended if........
Nope no complaints here.
Went to Auschwitz and Auschwitz-Birkenau a few years back. I moving experience. As has already been said, I defy anyone visiting these places not to be moved.
I agree with previous poster on his visit to Dachau. Makes you realise what man is capable of.
Enjoy the trip.

I went to Belson Bergan camp, when posted to Germany our CO took the whole Regiment, for the day.
