    Thanks for the welcome and the kind compliment on my english laguange skills. I try to keep up.
    My main read these days primarily concerns the Battle of Britain, but I'm positive that other areas of the air war in Europe'll interest me too, after this.

    Hi Galland,

    Did you know that there were 69 Aussies of the Royal Australian Air Force buried in Denmark during WW2?

    They were also buried in Norway (26), Sweden (10), Iceland (5) and Faroe Islands (1).

    Cheers

    I did know that there were RAF guys buried in Denmark (- and germans too), but didn't know about the Aussies.

    Hi Sniper. What's next - you start calling me "Judy"? :D

    Never mind, thanks for your welcome and your kind offer. It sounds like something that's hard to refuse.
    I'd appreciate any kind of info, airforce-related, of the Allied and German forces during WW2.
    PM me and let's work something out.
