Marienburg is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Re: Where would YOU serve in WW2?

Marienburg, West Prussia, 1945. (Where I get the moniker from.)

Marienburg, a huge medieval castle of the German Teutonic Order, built in 1309 and seat of the Grandmaster of the Teutonic Knights who started the whole German "Drive to the East" with their Prussian Crusade. The irony of defending such a place against the forces of the east would have made the defence of the place all the more interesting. Plus my family is originally from a town only a few miles away from the old castle! If you're going to go down in flames, make it dramatic.
