We are World War Two reporters with a taste for travel. The political situation in Europe at the beginning of the previous century, the development of modern warfare and the rise of armoured forces between both World Wars that followed have our largest interest, but specifically we focus on World War Two in general.
From our homebase in Gouda, the Netherlands, we visit the former battlefields, remains of bunkers and landmarks, museums and other places related to World War Two. On this website we share what we document on our trips with other enthusiasts of similar interest.
Of course we make mistakes or wrong assumptions (guess what? We’re human!). Please tell us what you think and feel free to help us along.
Important notice: we get a lot of questions concerning opening hours and entrance fees. We don’t own any of the museums or organise tours, we visit these sights and write about them. The rest is up to you!
We hope you enjoy our website,
The Landmarkscout Team
American Aid
Beside contribution from Belgium and England we are happy to say that an American Scout joined our ranks. Cliff Leverette followed Landmarkscout from 2013 on and has wrote several items for the website. Cliff lives in Madison Mississippi U.S.A. and always wears his Landmarkscout T-shirt, as shown on the picture, under his shirt.
British Aid
Phil Wood has been enlisted as a Landmark Scout for a long time, even longer than he realizes (we made him a member without telling him). Phil and his wife Anne were scouting WWII sites long before we met. Phil has been following Landmark Scout since 2012, and after a meeting in Arromanche in 2014 on the D-Day landing beaches we stayed in touch. Mountain biking, campervanning, drone piloting, and an awesome Rottweiler named Rommel (unfortunately no longer with us). Phil has contributed many articles to LandmarkScout.
Code of conduct
We are not going to disclaim this the usual way. This website is dedicated to the history of WWII and that’s that. We believe in humanity, a cold beer and the goodness of people. Please discuss your political views and opinions somewhere else.
