Funny, when I typed 'colditz' in straight after looking at USS Alabama (and the sub) it took me to the Federal Express building in Mobile.

Anyone else any ideas?

Surprisingly no results for Scapa Flow

anyone got Auschwitz?
David, your Dad's old POW camps about?
I notice Bayeux isn't as sharp as it was. Used to be able to cemetery and memorial but not now.

The White Cliffs of Dover: 51° 8'3.97"N 1°21'42.78"E
No Bluebirds though

.
Dover castle to the West is worth a look too, lots of Gun emplacements but hard to make out.

Auschwitz/Oswiecim doesn't seem to have the local resolution to make anything out?

Found Dachau town but not the camp, need someone familiar with the terrain to pinpoint it.

Dover is a good one. Found campsite we stayed at in August.

St Nazaire not too good either.

No luck with Sagan, Heydekrug or Fallingbostel.

Not WW2 but if anyone knows Cyprus then you'll know this.
