- the Anne Frank house ( it's close to my house )
- Bastogne, the museum the forest etc.
- Henry Chapelle cemetery
- Ardennes cemetery ( that one was very eerie, lots of unknown graves and I was all alone out there. A very special place, beautiful and quiet )
- a German cemetery across from the Ardennes one
- Luxembourg cemetery
- Foy
- Margraten cemetery, I try to go there as much as I can to visit my adoptive grave and just to walk around, taking it all in.
- La Roche Belgium, visited the war museum there.

I haven't been to any of the camps in Poland or closer to my house because I'm honestly too terrified to go in there.
Things I still would like to visit:

- Normandy, ( it's a childhood dream that for some reason always seems so far away )
- the eagles nest
- Pearl Harbor
- Berlin

I will try to upload some pictures of my adoptive grave and other cemetery sites today.
I have loads of them but they're on my phone so I'll try to transfer them to my laptop.

 

Nice item on the local news re Madingley American cemetery, Cambridge. Hope you can get the link on here. I will post it on ww2talk as well. Hundreds turn out for special ceremony at war museum

 

Ive been to Darwin. : ) - Swam in the Darwin harbour and been many times to RAAF base Darwin...(Does that count)?

 

France Oradour sur Glane, World War II Tourism in France is a great article for past history

 

London - Worked in the UK so spent many weekends traveling around finding the old airfields of the 8th Air Force
Pearl Harbor
France - Normandy, Bayeux

 

All over Oahu and Pearl Harbor, with most of the coastal gun locations, including both the Arizona turret batteries, and dove on USS Arizona and USS Utah. Also have been to Palau, Okinawa, and the Philippines, and Yokohama and Yokosuka in Japan.

 

In '88, I'd been on a trip through Europe with a high school group, and what stands out that is on topic would be St. Paul's Cathedral in London with the Blitz, as well as the hoverport at Calais, with a German blockhouse just to the east of us. Also in Paris, there was Montmarte Cathedral. There was a plaque on the wall about an air raid just after the liberation, with a full house, where a string of bombs was coming down and suddenly the bombs veered to one side and spared everyone.

 

Has anyone visited anywhere in France that still has evidence of pre-D-Day bombing/skirmishes etc?
For example, shell marks in walls of factory or outline of bomb crater near a railway
