Default Re: Fliegerhorst Gilze-Rijen. Archaeology & Research.

Yes that's what I thought but by reading your article I found out that Americans used it too. I don't know if the quantities were confidential or not, but it was quite a surprise for me to read it. No surprise about the Bristhish and the French, I knew both armies used it. Interesting, this is why I like this forum. thanks Nick.

Something else. How far is Tilburg from Gilze Rijen? Is there a chance you could get to the cemetery there and get a few pictures or is it to far? No hurry here. It's about the Molenschot guys.

Also: I recently read the story of an allied airman who possibly got excecuted in Tilburg by the Gestapo. Interested?
