But that's the watermark to show my students I was there!
This is the 1942 Nazi memorial to the Freikorps on Ichostrasse, since changed to serve as some sort of memorial to victims of Nazism; like most such memorials the symbolism seems to me so vague with such obscure symbols that it could mean anything whilst saying nothing.

Nordfriedhof- During a ceremony held in 1944 to commemorate those killed in allied bombing and Hitler in front of Troost's grave; the plot itself looks hardly to have changed.

Excellent Keir.

How I wish I had a teacher like you when I was in school, back then.

I think because the old part of this pic is colour it makes it look eerily real ... spooky. when i was in munich i was going to do this with the Ehrentemples and Fuehrerbau but i didn't have time sadly, hopefully these are next on your list.

And the old photo was taken in the same wet weather as well.The Ehrentempels are a bit tricky but I've tried to find pics that match those I took of its foundations. I have done the Fuhrerbau earlier but, alas, I'm in it:
School ends tomorrow (on the anniversary of Operation Barbarossa) and I'll have plenty of time to practice!
