    Greetings to all,

    My name is Kevin Driske and I come from Auchterderran Scotland. I have been interested in WW2 since I was a kid, particularly everything Axis (my grandfather Karl Driske fought in the Kriegsmarine and his brother Paul the Luftwaffe) I am doing a bit of research into my Grandfathers service during WW2 and have posted in the genealogy section as well.

    I love playing PC game based on WW2, especially flight sims such as IL2 Sturmovik. When I play FPS video games such as Red Orchestra I usually play as the Germans.

    Currently I am studying Conservation at Elmwood College and in my passtime I enjoy music, playing and listening. Some of my fav bands are the Beatles, Jethro Tull, Rolling stones and Iron Maiden.

    Anyway I look forward to contributing to this forum and meeting new friends to chat with :)

    Welcome Kevin,
    This is a great place to gather and share information on WW2 (and just about everything else too). Like your taste in music also! :)

    Hi Kevin, nice to meet you and welcome aboard. I grew up in an Elvis household, so there was no room for The Beatles!

    Know any stories about your Grandfathers? I would especially like to hear about the one in the Kriegsmarine.
