There’s a deserted WWII
There’s a deserted WWII airfield on the hills above Bath. I’ve never been there but one of the guys I used to work with knew it well, it’s particularly interesting because it’s on a plateau hemmed in by surrounding hills .
The book your aunt is translating reminds me of something I once heard on R4 about a guy travelling through the Ardennes one winter in the late 1950 – he was hitching and travelling by bus and somehow he got lost, it was starting to snow and he found himself in the middle of the forest feeling cold and desperate when he spotted a pill box making his way inside he was unpleasantly surprised to find that it contained the remains of a dead german still propped up next t his rusting machine gun. He didn’t stay.
