Hi, yes we visited Auschwitz and Birkenau camps. Very sobering places.

I have heard the BMW recovery / warranty service is first class. You have had first hand experience of this.

Thank you to every one for your photographs and accommodation suggestions. Looking forward to this WW2 themed touring trip.

Yes I remember watching a tv program on the Lancaster bomber flying over the Derwent Reservoir at the anniversary a few years back.

Yes I was checking your map route. I am hopefully planning final route this week on the Garmin /Google Maps sites to download to Sat Nav. New to this Sat Nav downloading carry on but I will get there.

Hi folks, New to this site and I am planning a small road trip with two mates from U.K to Holland and onwards to Arnhem and Colditz Castle. Has anyone covered theses areas before?
