Bit of a tenuous link but might be interesting for some on here.

First flight was in 1952, bid invites went out in 1946, so very much Cold War rather than WW2

An unexploded WW2 mine/bomb washed up on the beach in Aberdeen this week, bomb squad blew it up.

One in Gourock as well.

Must be something in the water up here!

Bombs by the sound of it!

Third Reich Rally Platz, Known as a Thing Platz in the woods near Heidelburg

I went to an awesome concert at the Nuremberg rally grounds a few years back - Jay z and many others - very imposing buildings which I guess was the point



A few years before that

There were a number of German Afrika Corps POW's held here in Roswell.
They were put to work building up a river bank and managed to integrate an iron cross into the brickwork.
