Welcome to the Longest Days



It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to The Longest Days.

In 2010 a group of young fellows decided with great gusto that they should head from Blighty over the Channel to unearth the curiosities that lie hidden amidst Europe's past. They would track across the continent and seek to enlighten themselves to the wonders of the war to end all wars, that followed the war which ended all wars. And so it was.

The plans were spurious and ill-thought out, the numbers were few but enthusiastic, and their backgrounds diverse yet reconcilable. This blog will follow the evolution of an expedition that will cast light upon the Second World War's great sites, and how they inflect, shine and fade within the modern european landscape. And the journey of the young men that go with it.
