I went this morning to see a plaque unveiled locally commemorating the role of the Polish Army and the Home Guard .
 The plaque is located by the side of a surviving ww2 concrete obstacle
The information plaque-

  3. Nice to see it commemorated. So many of those old defences vanish over the years.

  4. Interesting story, Alan, thanks for sharing. Interesting to see the Fallschirmjager - Good to see the balance of re-enactors for the public event. Having been to several 1940s events, I have found people are always fascinated to meet both 'sides' of the situation. It helps you understand the reason or the threats more clearly.
