Very nice pics!!

I've read quite a bit onWW2, but nearly all of it as it applies to the Western Front. Very little about the Soviet War, other than a couple German Soldier's accounts of it. Most all very brutal.

Battle of Dukla Pass for those like me, who know very little about the Eastern Front.

Nice pics. Heading to Krakow for 10 days in June. This would be close enough to drive to from there. Anything else you've seen you'd recommend hitting? Going to do the main things around Krakow (Auschwitz 1&2, Schindler factory, salt mines, etc.), but we will be renting a car for the duration and looking to branch out and see more of the country as well.

Big WW2 history buff. If my memory was worth a chit, I'd probably know far more than most. But despite lack of recall ability, still love seeing and reading about it all. The wife, not so much, but she is still interested. Looking to get some WW2 time in as well as other touristy type things.

Guns are responsible for killing as much as Rosie O'Donnel's fork is responsible for her being FAT.

very nice pics and interesting subject... as said, most of us know little of the Eastern Front.

thanks for posting.

Nice, thanks for posting. Looks like beautiful countryside now. That wedge shaped building looks amazing. Is that a recent build to honor the grounds/soldiers, or is it by chance something old?

It is a relatively new Memorial, I am not sure when it was built.

Fascinating stuff - thanks!

Not sure, I explore a little at a time when the weather in the mountains isn't good. But there is so much History to see here. I usually google places of interest to me, read up a little on them and take a drive to see them. Dukla would be will worth the drive in my opinion. It is a lot of walking. I suppose you could drive to each site but I just walked the old road. I'll let you know if I find any other cool WWII sites.
