Gentlemen,
In the past I have taken part in a trip to Germany with members of the DDR Forum. There was more than one trip and usually a city was picked to stay in as the home base and then outings were planned from there. An apartment would be rented large enough to house the entire group. This kept the cost of accommodation down to a reasonable amount. Arrival has been on a Thursday and departure on a Sunday. Some of the guys brought their wives and after the militaria group gathering spent a couple of weeks touring Europe. My wife intends to accompany me this time but will probably spend the time I am searching for militaria etc visiting friends in Budapest.
I would like to know who, if anyone, would be interested in making such a trip. It doesn't have to be a large group. The trip I took part in was composed of only three people. I'd like suggestions of what such a group meeting might do while in Germany. The program would need to be agreed on by those who would attend. I would take the responsibility of renting the apartment. On the trip I participated in we stayed in Leipzig so we could go to the very large Flea Market that is held there each weekend. It was wall-to-wall militaria. I took an empty suitcase with me and had trouble getting it closed when I had to leave. We also spent half a day at the BW Museum in Dresden. I intend to go this summer regardless but it is always more interesting to go on one of these with fellow collectors.
Regards,
Gordon
