It's just a little weird that top 6 posters have written half of these 61k. [img]graemlins/vc.gif[/img]

Well, I only can do my part to change this relation. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Go for it Knightmove! It's going to take awhile but I think some of us "newbies" given a certain amount of years here talking are going to get our numbers way up there and get our brains alot more educated. Just give us time and we'll be there. PS-I'm not Spanish, no offense taken but I'm just in Spain right now for the next year to two years. I'm actually American, born and raised in NY about an hour outside the city. I've only been here for probably two and a half months so yeah. I could tell you about the Revolutionary War of America or somewhat of the Civil War but that's about it. My passion is definetly the Second World War.

the statement about the top 6 posters posting huge numbers does not surprise me in the least. I can name you quite a few Luftwaffe-type sites that the same occurs and why I ask ?

Seems many sign up just to lurk or pose but the web-master(s) and forum members desire any type of questions. How do we then learn from one another ?

maybe these folk need to be probed ?

I took a look, de Vlaamse, but was defeated by the language !

In this country, we are almost totally ignorant of Belgian politics and, indeed, many things about Belgium.

During my recent holiday in the Ardennes I was fascinated by the experience of visiting Vielsalm ( where everyone seemed quite friendly and the atmosphere and language seemed rather er, French ), and then driving just a few minutes further to St Vith. Still in Belgium but the entire atmosphere was different, the shops are full of German things and everyone was speaking German. And, one has to say, the inhabitants were distinctly un friendly !

We later visited ( Belgian ) friends in Brussels and commented on the German-speaking area of the Ardennes and they said 'Oh - we've never been there'. But it did give an interesting insight into how, in the 1940s, German 'invaders' may have been received differently from one town to the next....

Congratulations to everyone in here for those 60.000 plus posts!!!

Indeed, Martin. Brits don't know about Belgium but they DO get involved in WWs because of Belgium... [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well, went to the Ardennes - with a friend of mine - to take pictures of al lot of tanks that are still there because of the "Ardennenoffensief".

I'd like to put them here on the site, but I don't know how.

And indeed, there are three - even four - different kind of people in Belgium:
- the Flemmish
- the people from Brussels
- the Walloons
- the people from the "Oostkantons" (German speaking people)
