Our two-year-old is nuts about cars, trucks, planes and emergency vehicles. We’ve had the Louwman Museum on our radar for a full year but it was during a recent visit from Oma and Opa when it felt right to go for a visit. This antique car collection is the world’s oldest private collection, having been carefully …
Hitler’s Atlantic Wall is said to be the world’s largest construction project. When built in the early 1940s, the wall stretched from the Northern tip of Norway down through France. It was a tense time for the Nazi empire, fighting the Soviets and Allies on two separate fronts. The wall’s aim was to protect the …
