I popped over to Berlin last week,laid a wreath where uncle Adolph had his bunker,on to Burma for a train ride,flew to Hiroshima to lay some flowers on the grave of the unknown civilian,had a great time.

Adolph??? We must remember how to spell when it comes to dictators responsible for the murder of millions.

This is a bit of history ,i visited paid my respects,saw the true atrocities committed,I did not post this for a wee taking topic ,I posted this for people who might have wanted to visit this city to see for themselves what happened only 65 yrs ago,sad to see some people find comedy out of a world tragedy

It's something I have always been interested in too Mark - I read the book 'Auschwitz' when still at school and have been interested ever since. It must be an incredible and humbling experience to actually be there.

I wasn't laughing at tragedy by the way, I was laughing at geordieboy - I can't believe anyone exists who doesn't know how to spell Hitler's name, he was quite famous.

[Highlander]

Well said Kanga. I know other people who have made this trip and found it very moving.

Maybe your reputation as a p taker proceeds you Mark.I dont think anything bad was meant in above post,Distastefully done by the way.

[geordieboy]

My post was'nt meant to be frivolous,I am only too aware of the horrors perpetrated during the second world war,I was having a pop at these places of horror meriting being a mid week break.
Sorry to have spelt Adolf wrong.
I read the same book Scunner,only in my day it was spelt Auschwitz,not Auswicth as you spelt it,but I shan't make a big deal out of it.

Thanks for comments Krakow is a beautiful and historic city and has many things to offer.  Obviously we visited these places because they are of great interest to us but on the flip side there are many things to see and appreciate, basically something to offer for all tastes.  Give it a try cos am sure no one would be disappointed.
