Mary and I are doing a Market Garden tour this October. Can’t wait.
Watch out for those AT guns. They are dangerous.
That’s what the 25 pdrs are for. 
Excellent.
That one is on my bucket list.
I was always kind of hoping that the FGM would be able to put together a group tour somewhere.
I think the attempt was made for a Normandy Tour once but it kind of fizzled out.
Anyway, awhile back @Bootie and a tour guide Jo Hook put together a virtual tour at "Battleguide Virtual Tours" that's pretty informative.
For 10 dollars you get a 75 minute tour.
Worth every penny.
Check it out if you like.

The entrance gate to the Berghof, Adolf Hitler's holiday home in the Obersalzberg of the Bavarian Alps, near Berchtesgaden, Bavaria, Germany.
The house itself was demolished using 1,181 tons of explosives in 1953 to prevent the influx of tourists from all over the world.

Just the rear of the foundation from the main building survives.
