One of the aims of the tour we've been on was to look at the sites of various classic WWII air war films and get a proper perspective on them.

First of all The Dam Busters

Mohne Dam:



   

and the Eder Dam



   

The Colditz Story



   

Lastly, The Great Escape at Stalag Luft III (Poland)  (No Americans were involved, no motorbikes, no Steve McQueen!)

bookscorpion: This is Chelifer cancroides, a book scorpion. Not a real scorpion, but an arachnid called a pseudoscorpion for obvious reasons. (Default)

Ha, I was wondering what that tour was when you mentioned travelling via coach!
I actually grew up not that far from the Möhnetalsperre, a bit more south but still solidly in the Sauerland aka reservoir country :D
I read the book and watched the TV show for Colditz, I would be curious to hear your thoughts on visiting the actual site
