I am not active in any group as such. I am a e-maillist-member of the atlantikwall group. These are generally a bunch of bunker affectionado's with a lot of combined knowledge. But my interest is not so much structures or buildings.

I am a member of the Dutch Airwar Study Group (this is a research group - not a/c recovery). There are several aircraft archeology groups active in Holland. I have toyed with the idea of joining one and have been eyeing them for a while. However, in my years as a (amateur)researcher, I have found that some fellow researchers (also with some of these groups) tend to treat information as a commodity, seem to regard the plane they are digging up or researching as 'theirs' and not all of them are as willing to share info (always willing to receive of course...). Most fellow researchers I have approached were more than willing to help me out and I have a good many contacts all over the world now. But what has prevented me to join more (physically active) clubs, is the fear of 'politics' mentioned above.
