Some #ThursdayThoughts - Longstop from the air - expect the unexpected #TunisianCampaign

This is Zhukov's bunker outside Berlin in 2012. And that's me pretending to Zhukov! Great to hear all about the bunker in WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk with Al Murray 🇺🇦 James Holland

Note to self: don't pack too much for your next trip to Tunisia #TunisianCampaign

Lost to history: my next 'walking the ground' mission is Longstop Hill - the tunnel, mosque, windmill, RAP, stables and more - locations and buildings abandoned, never visited since 1943. These 'gaps in history' need to be discovered and filled with knowledge! #TunisianCampaign

Detail from Stuart Brown's wonderful 'Longstop' painting. I wonder if it's based on the actual location? I shall find out shortly....#TunisianCampaign

Known to Berliners as the "Monument to the unknown rapist".

Just took an international train from Annaba in #Algeria to Tunis in #Tunisia (reopened Aug 2024 after 29 years). Breathtaking scenery in early May, very green and full of flowers! One of the world's great train journeys, not to be missed! The Man in Seat 61 #iloverailwaytrips

Today is #InternationalNursesDay : this is an American military nurse, in a British Air Ambulance, on the way to the General Hospital in Tunis from Italy, Dec 1943. #TunisianCampaign

It's #MapMonday: no wonder they named this hill 'Grenadier Hill' given the first occupants were The Grenadier Guards - here's their first layout. #TunisianCampaign

Dr Beth Wyrill from The Fusilier Museum, Dr Joseph Quinn Joseph Quinn, Gareth Crossman Commonwealth War Graves, Dr Laura Patrick from UNTOLD The Museum talking about the future of Heritage at the International Second World War History Association 'Peace in Europe' conference - we can be very confident that UK Heritage is in safe hands

OTD 1943 - the first WW2 unconditional surrender - Tunisia. Here's my take on the military impact and what it meant to the Allies. [video from 2024]. #TunisianCampaign

OTD 1943: Axis surrender in Tunisia. The day before the German commander insisted that he would not be taken by 'black' troops. He was taken by the 4th Indian Division and some of the aircraft at that time were flown by Tuskegee airmen. (video is 2024) #TunisianCampaign

Has anyone got a good resource for what kit British soldiers would have been issued with and worn in XIV army? Robert Lyman 🇺🇦 Jack Bowsher - Thunder Run: Meiktila 1945

We often forget the strategic importance of North Africa for the British. This importance did not harm the common interests of the Allies, contrary to what some American historians have claimed.

This week in Tunisia 1943: a mad scramble for luxury Villas in the fashionable suburbs of Tunis. This is American Lt Gen Carl "Tooey" Spaatz view from 'his' Ennejma Ezzahra Palace. Ike was a frequent visitor to play Bridge card games. #PalaceAtWar (More info winkie williamson)

25 janvier 1944. Italie. Le carnage du Belvédère. En tête de l'assaut,le sous-lieutenant a le bras arraché par un éclat d'obus. Mais il ne veut pas lâcher ses tirailleurs tunisiens. Il continue. Et emporte la victoire. Avant de s'écrouler. Criblé de balles. El Hadi Sekik. 28 ans.

My #ThursdayThought: many veterans returned to Tunisian battlefields e.g.Eisenhower 1959. Also Major John Lambert, The Grenadier Guards, veteran of Longstop. In 1979 he was the UK Ambassador (he even has a passing resemblance to the present UK in Tunisia 🇬🇧🇹🇳 Ambassador!). #TunisianCampaign

Bought our tickets today for #WeHaveWays festival. If you haven't been before, think "Khaki Glastonbury" and you're in the target zone. It's Family and female friendly too. See you there! WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk #WHWF25 #WHWF

This week I've been in Croatia. It seems Axis bunkers are everywhere along the coast. Did they call this the 'Adriatic Wall' by any chance?

Sad to see any WW2 memorial defaced, I saw this one in Croatia earlier this week. Can't tell if it's for Anti-Nazi or Pro-Nazi forces (Croatia had a very complicated WW2 to put it mildly). Grateful for any help! FYI Dr Peter Caddick-Adams #StandwithUkraine
