    Nice report mate. Will you plot all the positions and findings onto a map for easier viewing of the information? I would really like to see a map of where the German defenses and guns were sited.

    Of course I've also been thinking about a self-made map. At the moment you can see the defence-mapping unter the so called "information source" in my report .

    But the thing with the map is a very good call. I'll probably add my sites on a map.

    Thanks for your reply

    Hello to all,...
    And thanks for your replies....

    Inspired by the call to create a map I have today launched a first try.
    A self-created "map reconnaissance" is now available.

    Greetings
    Stefan

    This is great stuff!

    The experiences of Eugene Howard, Battery C/155th AA Battalion, 17th AB Division, his 75 mm gun team and the men who joined them tie in to the soldiers who would have been dug-in in the woodland - wow!

    Keep up the excellent work!

    Afternoon chaps.
    Asking on behalf of a German Researcher, as Techniker's link seems to be dead now.

    Does anyone know if this stuff was uploaded somewhere else eventually, or perhaps saved it originally?
