Hi to all, my name is Ulrich, i am 42 years old and from Bavaria in Germany. I am an former member of the 1. Gebirgsdivision, for that the user name "Gebirgsjaeger". I am very interested in WWII Strategy, Paratroopers ( both sides ) and especially all of the EOT. My grandpa was a member of the 2.Fallschirmjäger Division in WWII. I am collecting WWII rifles and military gear. Hopefully i can contribute a few things and can have some great discussions with you. Best Regards Ulrich

Western Europe would be a great place Ulrich and yes I am Jealous, but then again, I 'm having a shot of Calvados right now, so that's nice as well.
