Thoroughly enjoyed those pictures Luc, and seeing your jeep in its full glory. Two lovely pieces of history. :D

That is so cool. That is the type of aircraft that I would want. You could still use it to fly to destinations. Lottery ticket in hand..

You just filled in the rest of Mark's post in the "General Discussion" section.
War is about two opposing factions fighting.
The rest of the story is, it happens in some ones back yard. In this case, yours.
Doubt any one apologized for the mess, but Thank You ! and your country men and women for your respect to those that fell in the conflict.

Never forget !!
From looking at your pictures, you have a beautiful country. It is hard to imagine what was going on there 75 years ago.
Honoring and remembering is important but teaching your and our children what took place is equally important.
The knowledge you pass on will hopefully prevent history from ever repeating itself again.
Carry on !!
