“This is the story of the rise of jazz in France, The Nazi’s ambivalent relationship with it during the occupation and the survival of one of Europe’s most inspirational Jazz musicians.”

Django Reinhardt should have been a target for Nazi persecution being a gypsy and a jazz musician, this is his remarkable story.

“Starry, starry night.
Paint your palette blue and grey,
Look out on a summer’s day,
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills,
Sketch the trees and the daffodils,
Catch the breeze and the winter chills,
In colours on the snowy Linden land.”

Now please remember children that making and using Tesla coils is potentially fatal.

This is due to:

• Very Large Voltages,
• Very Large Magnetic fields,
• High Currents,
• Highly Stressed components,
• A  large RF field

Ensure that you are fully aware of the risks before attempting construction or running Tesla coils.

Safety information can be found at:

From the page:

“On 17 September 1944 thousands of paratroopers descended from the sky by parachute or glider up to 150 km behind enemy lines. Their goal: to secure to bridges across the rivers in Holland so that the Allied army could advance rapidly northwards and turn right into the lowlands of Germany, hereby skirting around the Siegfried line, the German defence line. If all carried out as planned it should have ended the war by Christmas 1944.”

“At last by t’ side o’t’ bank they stopp’d,
Where Wharfe runs murmurin’ clear,
A beautiful river breet an’ fine,
As onny in wide Yorkshire.”

“Bred especially for their deep purple colour which indicates a high level of anthocyanins – important disease-fighting antioxidants – British blackcurrants are a deliciously healthy addition to recipes.”

“For a child cries :

Oh, find me … find me, nothing more
We are on a sullen misty moor
We may be dead and we may be gone
But we will be, we will be, we will be, right by your side
Until the day you die
This is no easy ride”
