Winter can be cold and miserable but also inspiring.
Made a trip to the Schneifel region in Germany near Prüm. You can still find some remnants of the Westwall in this area. This december there was a big pack of snow which made the trip more special. I’ve visited a special type 23 near Kronenburgerhütte, some early Limes Regelbauten in the forests near Ormont and a part of the endless anti-tank ‘dragon teeth’ near Hollerath, where early old style and 1939 new style Höcker meet eachother.
A Luftschutzturm (air raid shelter) near Rosshafen, Hamburg has been destroyed. The five-storied bunker which was finished off with a layer of bricks over the concrete “had” to be destroyed for a new container terminal.
It’s not even clear when this terminal will be built, but the bunker is gone anyway. Another relic that disappeared..
Luckily Hamburger Unterwelten made a virtual tour before the bunker was destroyed. It shows some beautiful relics.
