I will not join in ... even if i WANT to.

 

That was amazing !

 

Thank you spring.

 

Thanks.

 

A picture's worth...
Hopefully a lesson for supporters of fascists...

 

nothing special. there are much better clips.

 

Cologne was also nice; the hypocrite mayor and later chancellor Adenauer - "but we were only good catholics" - even thought of a New Cologne in the north of the destroyed one. wonder who'd have payed that....

 

I am amazed that there was still so much left of these two major German cities. I am sorry about any wartime devastation, but must say, many other European cities were not so 'lucky'.
Remember, the other Europeans never voted for the Austrian madman, only the Germans did. Not all Germans, but enough to give him the power to spread insanity and cruelty.

A photo of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, which I posted recently in another thread:

 

And there was the London Blitz .. Great devastation and loss of life. ... ..Joy.

 

True. And other UK cities, like Coventry
To me London and other UK cities are Europe as well, btw.

 

For some reason a rage is building inside me, It doesn't bother me one bit to see Berlin in ruins when so many had to suffer at the hands of that madman .. Joy.

 

He and the people who voted for him and worked in his system caused trauma that continues to this day. That is the reason for the rage, my dear Joy.
I was raised by two traumatized parents (both members of the Dutch Resistance, as were both my grandfathers), and have a mild second generation trauma. Some people are far worse off.

 

Great portions of EUROPE in ruins with many deaths .. six million plus Jewish people murdered .. No, I don't give a f--- about Berlin !!!!!!! ...

 

We would have fought to the last person standing .. Murderous Bastards !!!!!!

 

And an estimated 3 million Gypsies.
He also started on disabled people.

 

Okay ... gotta calm down ....

 

Disabled people, coloured people ... horrible medical experiments on children and adults .. I grew up with the rage of my Father ... I need a cuppa tea.

 

Think of beautiful antiques too.
