Hello all,
My name is Kyle Thomas and I am posting to let you all know of a group I am a founding member of. The European Military History Group was founded in Oct 04 by a group of enthusiastic history buffs. I have attached a background paper for our group.
We plan and cunduct many trips per year to many historical areas around Europe. I am posting here with hopes maybe I can get some stories or information from any vets who may have served in Europe during WWII. We have monthly meeting where we discuss trips and stories members bring.
If there are any vets out there that want to tell us mabe a secific place or battle you were part of we could make it a topuc of our meetings. I would also like to extend a group invitation to anyone who would like to come back to Germany for a visit. I along with several of other members would love to host a veteran for a visit.
If anyone is interested or would like more information please let me know
Thanks for all you did to keep our world free!!!

Kyle: Welcome to the forum. Will try to dig out a map of our route which I have had since wars end showing our route through Germany after leaving France. My two favorite towns towns over there were a small town in Austria, between Berchtesgaden and Salzburg Austria where we were for about a couple of months at wars end and then
to the town of Fulda Germany where I spent another another few months while waiting to go back home. In Fulda we billetted at the Bliedorn Kasserne in Fulda. Many pleasant memories after wars end and very good deer (raebuck ?) hunting which I
enjoyed. Will repro the map when I dig it out and send it to you if interested, and it will show our route. Will E mail you if you wish. Joe

Kyle:
Once I get all my paperwork sorted from the National Archives on my dad's unit in Germany, I will share what I have with you. I believe there are some maps and of course it gives all the cities and towns that they pushed through.

Kyle; I just wrote you an e-mail about the pics. I will also go to the museum
and check the files there and see if I can find something else on your uncle.
Again, God Bless you and all the troops, praying you ALL come home safely.
