| My dream vacation would be to take a Stephen Ambrose Historical Tour. Particularly the Band of Brothers tour. To see all those sites in relation to the film and the 101 st Airborne would be the best.

| Senior Member | I've been to Normandy and Dieppe for WW2. We were mostly in France, so we saw a lot more of the WW1 sites such as Vimy.

| I was in French Morocco in 1954, and there were still wrecked landing craft 10 yards from the beach. The beach was Medhia, but I'm not sure of the correct spelling. Minefields all over the place, but they were fenced and signs in ten languages. School boys would amuse themselves by throwing rocks in the area, hopeing to trigger a mine. Charles
