As for pillboxes, it reminded me of the German bunkers we have in South of France. I grew up playing hide and seek in them. Some were even connected by an intricate network of tunnels.

Sounds great, and damn the critics - what do they know, anyway? 8-)Marchelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201825708442679157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004288060867455452.post-80309665324678608382014-02-20T18:13:51.114-08:002014-02-20T18:13:51.114-08:00For us in the States, this is totally fascinating!...For us in the States, this is totally fascinating! We don't have "live history" like this. I can only imagine the mind at work on passing these every day, now, so many years later. To those of us of a different generation, and separated by an ocean, it's almost a romantic version of conflict. Does that make sense? <br />BTW: we went to see "Monuments Men" with George Clooney last weekend. Do you know it? About saving paintings and art during WWII. I thought the movie was wonderful although I think it's received mixed reviews….Libby https://www.blogger.com/profile/11556491482494737313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004288060867455452.post-42523276638663366572014-02-19T03:38:05.966-08:002014-02-19T03:38:05.966-08:00i love seeing those pillboxes, we have one in Wat ...i love seeing those pillboxes, we have one in Wat Tyler, our local country park, you can climb up to it but its all closed off inside now. Being an amateur historian i enjoy reading all about this sort of thing. Looking forward to your book very much.<br />Gill xxGill Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02609030650883561572noreply@blogger.com
