WW2 History - If you want a in depth look at this dark bit of the world’s history I highly recommend this tour with Michael.He is very knowledgeable and will tailor the tour to what you want to concentrate on. I know for a lot of people learning about this is not how they want to spend their holiday, but for those inclined I highly recommend it. It is only through education and spreading of this information that the world can ever hope to prevent these tragedies repeating themselves.
