    Another great video and tour. A perfect time to watch as well as the old soldiers are heading back to France for the anniversary. Thanks both.

    Another enthralling video guys. Like you, WW2 and WW1 are of great interest to me, perhaps because of family members serving in both. It was so interesting to see the Museum visit you made, they appear to be really thoughtfully put together. Somewhere I’d love to visit. Thanks again for taking us all along with you 👍

    Really interesting to learn about the oyster farming, I don’t think I could ever try one though 🤭 Love the little place you passed through before the supermarket, beautifully kept village with the flowers etc. Thanks, Em 💜

    Another great video guys! My husband and I both had dads that were in WW2. B 17 pilot and officer. We have talked about visiting Normandy for years…your videos are inspiring to me to stop talking about it and plan a trip!! Cheers and safe travels

    Another great episode guys, we particularly loved the true story about John Steele, saw it in the movie but didn't know it was a real event👍

    • @getawaygeese
      @getawaygeese  6 місяців тому +1

      Thanks for watching - his story is fascinating and the fact he escaped and then was in the battle of the bulge is incredible

    @the-other-windsors 6 місяців тому +1

    Remember seeing the sequence with the trapped parachute and also vaguely another scene where a US army guy used his clicker, got a response but, it turned out to be a German. 🤔🐕🚙

    • @getawaygeese
      @getawaygeese  6 місяців тому +1

      Yes that was the longest day film - the false clicker is disputed factually but either way a great film

  • @grahamunderwood9353
    @grahamunderwood9353 6 місяців тому +1

    was just a shame the crickets made the same noise as the germans clearing the breech of their rifles but the scale of the drop was unprecedented the like of what will never be seen again the museums look awesome

    • @getawaygeese
      @getawaygeese  6 місяців тому

      Thanks for watching - I understand the breech rifle noise may not of been factual but a movie thing although I never found a definitive on that when I tried to research that statement
      Interesting stuff though - thanks for watching

    Hi guys.
    We've followed you both for a while now and I haven't heard you talk about your particular interest in World War 2?
    Were you in the Army yourself Stew?
    Or a member of your family was involved, or just an interest in general?
    We find it very interesting too.
    Thanks in advance.
    Steve n Debbie 😊👍💯

      Hi - no it’s just something I am interested in and was brought up on war films so I find the whole history really interesting

      And I love history full stop. I have always enjoyed WW2 history - but during this trip WW1 became of interest to me as well. Doing this trip has been on our tick list for the last 5 years of having Harry and we finally made it. It didnt disappoint ! Jane ☺️
