Old timers on here mostly refer to me as KK. Which is a name of a tank in the movie Patton. Back in the day, the name was not well received on some servers residing in germany and was kicked constantly before shortening it. 

 

I would of guessed by your pic you liked N. Africa haha It was on my places to go until the uprisings in 2011 and the raid on Benghazi in 2012 persuaded to go elsewhere...

 

Anyway, mostly Western Europe (including 1 trip to Crete and a couple of other greek isles where the Italians and Germans had bases) but have been to Hungary and Czech Repub. My family fought in France and Italy and that's where my interest started as a kid. Grandmother's brother was killed the night before the Battle of San Pietro started on Dec 8th. Sniper got him when he turned on a small penlight in his tent studying the attack routes. He was a company commander in the 143rd. I went there, visited most of the battle lines including Monte Cassino, and of course visited him at the American Cemetery in Nettuno. One other relative landed in Normandy and survived the war.

 

Cool, KK, I like the west front too, a very interesting and different battlefield both times it was traversed. Yes, my profile pic is my fav general, mostly for the insane luck he had and a complete miracle that he never got caught or killed with his "lead from the front" style!

I was there in October 2011, it was pleasant. I wanted to go back this year (75th anniversary of end of WW2) but obviously COVID. 

 

I don't know those names, I'm afraid I'm nowhere near a WW2 nerd that you are...
