About Myself

Hi

I am a hobby historian with a strong interest in WW II eastern front and Normandy. I am skeptical about Wikipedia, but was convinced to give it a try, and I will see how it works out. I intend to participate in military history related projects on Wikipedia.

My other side of expertise is energy related, with a particular focus on energy efficiency and micro-generation.

I travel to Rome regularly, have lived in London and Coventry in the UK, Ireland, and Japan.

I live in Paris and have no cats.

Feel free to leave a message on my talk page.

All the best Andreas 15:33, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
