Where is this?

This is a bascule bridge (left part), quite close to the castle.

Yes Guillermo!

My Internet conn. was so low (or is), that it took ten minutes to upload my last hint.

It is Dannebrog the royal Danish yacht in front of Sønderborg castle!

A beautiful little town, really worth visiting!

Gone.....................all gone................................

Germany til 1919


til 1939



Undestroyed unharmed, and never occupied by foreign forces, 700 years of Prussian culture disappeared within some 3 month........after the first of Jan. 1945..........................
for the wet dreams of a Austrian postcard painter............no surrender.

Marienburg:


The wealthiest communitiy in the known world, for 500 years............gone..

Königsberg 1895, Kant was well known but "Strassenbahn" was more important (the first in the world)





Danzig, phuhh...................gone

they left this:


12.000 children died at this pier within 6 weeks!?!!! Some of them thrown away like crap by their own parents!?!!! Most just frozen to death...........



German Marine forces evacuated more than 3 million citizens (women and children, men were at the front!), in less than 8 weeks in the largest evacuation operation ever (with no gas , no coal, no Diesel, the war was at his end!) Later the world named them NAZI`S, for their thruth, and faith! Others were heroes, these were just NAZI´s........................................


Ich werde in die Tannen geh'n,
Dahin wo ich sie zuletzt geseh'n
Doch der Abend wirft ein Tuch auf's Land
Und auf die Wege hinter'm Waldesrand
Und der Wald, er steht so schwarz und leer
Weh mir, oh weh, und die Vögel singen nicht mehr

Ohne dich kann ich nicht sein, ohne dich
Mit dir bin ich auch allein, ohne dich
Ohne dich zähl' ich die Stunden, ohne dich
Mit dir stehen die Sekunden, lohnen nicht

Auf den Ästen, in den Gräben
ist es nun still und ohne Leben
Und das Atmen fällt mir, ach, so schwer
Weh mir, oh weh, und die Vögel singen nicht mehr

Ohne dich kann ich nicht sein, ohne dich
Mit dir bin ich auch allein, ohne dich (ohne dich)
Ohne dich zähl' ich die Stunden, ohne dich
Mit dir stehen die Sekunden, lohnen nicht
Ohne dich

Ohne dich

Und das Atmen fällt mir, ach, so schwer
Weh mir, oh weh, und die Vögel singen nicht mehr

Ohne dich kann ich nicht sein, ohne dich
Mit dir bin ich auch allein, ohne dich (ohne dich)
Ohne dich zähl' ich die Stunden, ohne dich
Mit dir stehen die Sekunden, lohnen nicht
Ohne dich, ohne dich, ohne dich, ohne dich
Ohne dich

Hitler brachte große Ruine und es macht mich traurig. Hitler brought great ruin and it makes me sad.

Weh mir oh weh...........................


Guillermo

that was your turn, come on, before I sink myself in melancholy....................

[RHP]

Your picture of Köln reminds me of my home town, Liverpool. Sometimes its best to look to the future rather than to look back my friend.

OK,
which one is this ship and where were those photos taken?
(Note: I've not been exactly there but pretty close some 22 years ago)

Now I'm going sailing. Meet all of you again here on sunday night.

Cheers.

[Raggi_Thor]

Well Guillermo, this is a very black ship, I would maybe call ith the Black Perl

[Raggi_Thor]

Envy! Sure for the 8 children, they can make a weekend!

It doesn't matter where their origin, the fact is people who are given too much power will always abuse it, and us along with it. We must do what we can to set for them clear limits, while we shed a tear for their victims as we look towards a brighter future.
