How sad they have been lying out there where they fell for so long, I hope the ID and reburial process goes well.
At least those f*****g Russian "diggers" were not involved

Hi Erik, Patricia Clough has written a travel book riding the old Reichsstrasse 1: http://www.amazon.de/Aachen-K%C3%B6nigsberg-Zeitreise-entlang-Reichsstra%C3%9Fe/dp/3421042101/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1221846329&sr=8-1 Although she's English, there's not an English version of the...

Why? unless they were there or are with relatives who were I doubt they have too much business there

Theoretically she could have got a way I suppose, the allies probably would have shaddowed her for a good while, after VE day they may have been less willing to risk more lives to take her down...

This was recently shown here on SBS tv, parts of it were ok but the romance between the British pilot on the run and the German nurse were laughable. Her rooting him in an open hospital ward?? dramatic rubbish :down: The firestorm stuff was done ok, as was the pathfinder marking flares falling aroun...

[ possibility of maybe a 3rd party apart from the HMAS Sydney and the Kormoran is being investigated Never heard of this one. Any links or info to elaborate? Could be good reading. . In Aus there have been "theories" that a Japanese sub worked with the Kormoran to sink Sydney. So bad it's...

Reports elsewhere mention the wreck is upright and complete. Complete apart from the missing bow section that appears to have broken off. May explain a quick sinking with crew not being able to lower lifeboats? They reckon about 25m of bow is missing, prob from torpedo damage Probably Torpedo damag...

Is this a newly found wreck or previously known?

There's a book called Uboat far from Home which details a Uboats voyage near Australia, always meant to get a copy

Watched the race yesty.
Used to like F1 a lot but have got much more out of the V8 touring car series here. Much more rough n ready honest racing IMO

I agree mate, I think there's a bit of concern about proportioning blame on the Sydneys captain, ie why did he let his guard down getting so close etc? And having no survivors to confirm the German account doesn't help their anguish. An enquiry won't serve much purpose, as said both ships were destr...

A very moving story indeed. Anyone here know how active the German graves service has been in Roumania?
Too many missing soldiers

I wonder if they will be able to identify many of the victims?
probably not
