Truly EXCELLENT VIDEO showing how small is the Sicilian channel - Italy really is very close to North Africa, in fact parts of Tunisia are NORTH of parts of Sicily. In 1942/43 it was even narrower for the Axis convoys as they routed through minefield barriers #Tunisia81

Robert Lyman 🇺🇦 During my talk on WW2TV yesterday, someone asked where the Japanese fighter planes that attacked 435 Squadron’s aircraft near Shwebo in January ‘45 would have come from. I’ve no clue and none of the sources I have mention where their base was. Do you know? Thanks.😊

They really spoil the satellite view

von Arnim's staff car in the UK, captured in Tunisia - only 2 pence per ride! I hope he got to see this photo in his Prisoner of War Camp.... #Tunisia81

I’m fairly certain this was filmed just outside the Ksar Rhilane oasis #Tunisia81

🎉 Happy 100th Birthday to Normandy veteran Rev Hector Davis.

Hector was a Sapper with the Royal Engineers on D-Day. In Normandy his tasks included providing accurate mapping for allied troops and surveying roads for the movement of heavy transport.

I'm looking for speakers on the Poles at Monte Cassino and also the Free French and South Africans please.

Popcorn and beer at the ready in one hour for WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk livestream

I'm still trying to find the exact location where von Arnim surrendered to the Gurkhas in Tunisia 1943 so I can do a 'Then and Now' pic. It's near the village of St Marie du Zit but I may just have to bring along this pic and show the local farmers. Fingers crossed. #Tunisia81

Looking forward to tonight's WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk livestream - all about War movies!

In support of an 8th Army Brigade attack, in this one small area, the Allies fired 24,000 artillery rounds in 15 hours. That excludes mortar rounds and excludes German artillery and mortars in reply. You can still find shells on the farm land. The attack was defeated. #Tunisia81

Forced labourers having escaped from a German camp in Tunisia, enter British lines. December 1942. Teenagers by the look of them. Thin too. Quite rare to see photos of this subject. #Tunisia81 (IWM NA 275).

Well done Russ Cook

Kasserine Pass monument - Djebel Chambi in the background. I have never managed to find out who built this - definitely not the French as it's post independence and it is expensive. It's on the edge of town by the Army barracks, great view of the Pass. Anybody know? #Tunisia81

'Then, a soldier, full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard, jealous in honour, sudden, and quick in quarrel, seeking the bubble reputation even in the cannon's mouth.' #ShakespeareSunday #Tunisia81

Rock carvings from 1943 - this one says 'HAIN 1943' - from a Tunisian contact 👍. I hope to see the real thing when I get out there soon, apparently there's a few. #Tunisia81 #excited
