global adventure discover and exploration global adventure discover and exploration search search global adventure discover and exploration stalag iv b may 22 2019 photoenterprise leave a comment it s amazing to see the site where a ww2 prisoner of war camp once stood in this case hidden in a wood that has been allowed to grow up in and around the original site where my step grandfather was held not much remains however there are many signs displaying the history of the place the site is not forgotten and it is well worth a visit to cast your mind to a time when the camp did stand there one can only imagine what it was like i made a video when i visited stalagivb the original entrance is long gone and is marked simply with cobbles on the road now but it used to be far more imposing now there is little left after the soviet red army took over the camp at the end of the war they ran it for a while before the whole place was raised to the ground today there are parts that remain such as the latrines under ground or the foundations to some of the former prisoner barracks however many people died in this place due to mistreatment the nazis did kit follow the geneva convention and many prisoners died unnecessarily because of it however the largest number of fatalities seem to be from the soviets and there is now a memorial to them where there names are written on both sides of a path leading up to a cross standard zeithain jacobsthal may 16 2019 photoenterprise leave a comment once bob had made it through austria he was taken to jacobsthal and nearby is the zeithain memorial i discovered that at the memorial was a small museum and a cemetery for the soviet prisoners who had died in that location i made a video to show what s there zeithain video once i d seen this area and learnt what i could from the museum i went over to jacobsthal station the actual stop where bob disembarked and had to march to his new camp just up from there today it is all mostly overgrown fields but i made a second video in this area which you can see by clicking here jacobsthal standard further up the track august 7 2018 photoenterprise leave a comment so from my last post at monturano my step grandfather bob was packed with others very tightly into cattle trucks locked in and transported northwards he stopped at ancona station where there was an air raid bombs fell jerries ran for cover and one bomb exploded on a fuel truck spraying burning petrol everywhere over bobs truck all were terrified inside the locked truck it got very hot very quick the train eventually carried on with the fire having burnt itself out and they moved northward at some northern italian station a friendly italian girl came over and chatted to the pows as they waited for the train to move off again a nazi didn t like that at shot her dead i stopped at a random northern station and took this photo with a flower as respect to that poor girl the train went north through brenner pass and on northwards into germany standard visit to pg70 pow prisoner of war camp monturano italy august 1 2018 photoenterprise 4 comments when my step grandfather died and i found out he d been a pow in ww2 it had a larger impact on me than i ever realised now i m retracing his footsteps from south italy to north germany and i am seeing for myself the places he was at he came into italy through the port of brindisi and was taken on a train with no room to bari pg75 camp he stayed in a dried up canal in november until being admitted into camp after a few months he was moved from this transit camp to a larger place pg70 monturano this place had been very difficult to gain access to but randomly on the day i turned up the gate was wide open i couldn t believe my luck and was able to take loads of photos and look all around the site totally awesome experience knowing o was standing in the very spot that bob had all those years ago feeling very different too without a doubt i was full of amazement i was able to look around and get inside whereas he was very hungry mistreated and not looked after according to his account at all i was able to video the site click here to see the video monturano filmed live to be able to look upon things that he would instantly recognise is quite an amazing experience and am writing book to cover all the contrasts between them and now for the moment i am extremely grateful for having been allowed to look around the site it has made my trip it was very important for me to see inside and to have done so means the world to me a truly incredible experience that really moved me standard working my way through europe july 26 2018 photoenterprise 1 comment so i ve set off on my travels and the main inspiration for the trip was to follow my step grandfathers footsteps as pow during ww2 but i ve yet to get to the start of that leg of my tour i started at dover castle as it features underground tunnels that were used in the war as the base to organise operation dynamo the evacuation of allied troops from dunkirk behind these doors the following day i drove down to bois jacques and saw the foxholes that were dug out but the 101st airbourne div when laying seige to the town of foy for the battle of the bulge bastogne on from there i drove further on and spent the night in strasbourg where lots of people dined outside a band played and everyone enjoyed the warm summer air and atmosphere it was a city in bloom very colourful the next day i made in further south into switzerland and found engelberg where there was a cable car that took me to the top of titlis mountain 10 000 feet high and offering really stunning views once down from there i walked around luzern where i m staying where there was a music festival so i was able to chill looking out across the lake the mountains in the background loving the view also walked across the oldest wooden bridge in europe oldest trussed bridge in the world next up is the sussen pass standard july 20 2018 photoenterprise leave a comment very soon i ll be starting my trip leaving monday feeling both excited and intrigued to step in the path of history which really helps bring it alive for me it will take a few days to get down to my starting point at the south of italy but i m including other points of interest along the way such as visiting the foxholes that were dug out in the battle of the bulge which you may have seen if you watched band of brothers as i go along i ll be writing my book which will compare bob s account my step grandfather with how i see things today and am running a crowdfunding page to gain support for the book please do take a look here https www crowdfunder co uk never lose hope a pow journey then and now standard the beach anyone july 8 2018 photoenterprise 1 comment so its been very hot lately and i m not going to complain as the winter was long this year very cold and i m saving a fortune on heating bills i went to the beach the other day in brighton and the water was so cold i almost froze over there were people swimming including a mate i went there with but alas i ve been spoiled and know of the sea in the maldives st lucia and turkey all of which is lovely warm water in fact there is a beach i went to in turkey that was with no exaggeration like a hot bath it was incredible however i am writing this ahead of a trip round europe and thinking of a different beach maybe you re thinking how beautiful and peaceful this looks and i agree it most definitely is the water in the picture is the english channel though so still really cold but on a hot day even i can persuaded to go in the reason i ve shown this picture is because it would have looked so very different about 80 years ago because this is utah beach one of the five main landing place for the normandy invasion d day it is difficult to imagine how a place so beautiful could have been the place of utter horror to so many and yet as the water turned red it signaled the coming of the end of the war which came about only a year later the allies had a stronghold in northern france after d day and the war was won in the next few blogs i will be visiting parts of europe retracing the footsteps of my step grandfather who was a prisoner of war he was captured in torbruk north africa and taken to benghazi where after a few months of bad treatment and lack of food and water he was transported with many others over to the south of italy i will visit the south of italy and follow his path up through austria and into north germany and add my thoughts to blogs here as i go with a few pictures along the way please follow me to stay tuned standard snow in sweden november 6 2017 photoenterprise cold food holiday ikea life meatballs photo plop plopp snow stockholm sweden leave a comment with the clocks going back an hour getting up to leave at 4 30am was a little less painful i drove through the dark to gatwick and caught the plane after a fairly clear journey taking off early at 8am checking your bag in now is all automated which was new to me but once i d sorted that i d got on the place and sat back for the flight by the window i could see below and with the clouds and the angle of the sun i saw a complete rainbow effect which was cool once i landed at arlanda stockholm i was under the cloud again and it was snowing with a bit of wind making it a blizzard its how i always imagined it but thankfully it didn t last more than an hour or settle although apparently it was the first snow of the season i met a friend at the airport and traveled back to his place to dump bags and since i would need a pillow for my spare bed so had to visit ikea since in sweden so got the pillow and couldn t miss out on the famous ikea meatballs and gravy we had a beer in a pub away from the store and noticed several things firstly it got dark at about 3 30pm which totally threw out my body clock it felt more like 10pm when later it was only 6pm the temperature was obviously colder than the uk at just 2 degrees i left home at about 10 degrees and some of the names i found funny such as a chocolate bar called plopp that you can buy from willy s you can enter or leave car parks following signs for enfart or utfart and the end station at the end of a train line is slutstation so we planned some cultural things to see over the next week and get an idea of what stockholm has to offer and there is a lot a lot of history and things of interest standard tranquility august 16 2017 photoenterprise leave a comment i have always noticed something about water and yes before anyone says it it s wet but it can also be many different things when it s lying there still and calm it is very peaceful when i took a walk at frensham ponds near farnham last the silence was everything i heard there was no computer fan whirring away or music playing in the background there was no traffic noise or people chattering in the background it was just silent except for the odd ripple of water as a fish came up for air or s bird called out the colours in the sky from the setting sun just added to a welcome setting and i could literally breath in the fresh beauty around me it s a place not far from where i live and i wondered how many places are there around the country that are amazing to see but we are all so wrapped up in our lives that we forget about the simple things in life that can bring simple happiness and relaxation so easily the birds get to see this everyday and it would seem in this case they are the lucky ones standard open space august 8 2017 photoenterprise beach freedom fun instagood l4l life love loveit maldives nofilter photo reflection solitude sun lounger tbt throwbackthursday 1 comment how much space do we need or do we never have enough i took this image a while ago and i think it conveys many other things other than just space such as solitude reflection peace freedom and lots more it was taken in an ideal location on the island of kuredu maldives and also think it looks like an ideal place to go to sit relax and contemplate life which in a way is what triggered my blog seeing this photo again i think it is an image that is open to interpretation too it could convey a certain feeling of loneliness since there is only one chair there not two lost in a large expanse with no one around for company or at least having one chair offers that suggestion or it could be seen that the person who s chair it is likes their solitude and wants a moment of quiet reflection with there thoughts and the sound of the lapping tide on the shore whilst soaking up a few rays of sun with no one there to interrupt their peace and tranquility not far from the beach chair was this scene which i prefer a totally natural vista which has been created over time naturally occurring on the same island as i sit here remembering that view seeing it for the first time was the total realization of paradise for me i have this same image as a large canvas on my wall at home it always brings a smile to my face knowing that there is such natural beauty still out there in the world away from all the buildings and roads and pollution that humans create i think if ever i was ship wrecked i would hope to be ship wrecked here and would be quite happy to live out my days in a place such as this with food and wifi obviously i have thought for a while now about a question do we over complicate life the rat race the need for more money the growing list of things we want to buy but are too expensive so we work ever harder but i think it is easy to miss the little things such as a view like this which means far more to me than so much of the commercial things available the space within the image though is idyllic and i appreciate it all the more since i live in a 1 bed small little flat i love my flat don t get me wrong but when i look at this picture it reminds me there is a whole world out there full of amazing sights and more space that i would know what to do with space comes in all shapes and sizes wherever we are in the world i for one always try to keep my eyes open and appreciate as much of it as i can the world is a beautiful place standard post navigation older posts blog at wordpress com global adventure blog at wordpress com subscribe subscribed global
