Hello!
Meeting of Hitler with Horthy combined with launch of Prinz Eugen (22.8.1938)?

[John Hilly]

Quite right Aleks!
There's Hitler's Yacht Grille far left.

The other ship in the picture is the Gneisenau and was taken on 22 August 1938 during the state visit of Admiral Horthy - indeed, to honour the regent the Hungarian flag is flying from the mainmast - you might just be able to make it out!

Hello!

1st post here.

Welcome to AHF!
Well, I think it's time to solve this mystery.
These are ruins of Uspenskiy Cathedral of Kievo-Pecherskaya Lavra after explosion which occurred on November 3, 1941. According to one of the versions, the cathedral was blown up by the Soviet underground who wanted to assassinate Jozef Tiso, President of Slovenská republika (he visited Lavra on that day, and left it several hours before the explosion).
