  • Hi.

    I am finalising a book on Turkey and WW2 that will be published next year. You have posted some interesting historical pictures. I was planning to return to Istanbul to visit what remains of the Çatalca fortifications but the pandemic stopped that. If you have either out of copyright or you own the copyright pictures I would be interested. My email is balkandave@gmail.com if you can help. Thanks.

    Thanks. Yes, I follow him on Twitter, he posts a lot of excellent stuff around WW2. I think the height of the terrain is a bit exaggerated in the bottom picture, but it gets the idea over. I was quite struck by the high ground the Bulgarians fell back to after the Turkish Offensive in the 2nd Battle of Catalca. If anything a stronger position than the Catalca Lines.
