Fortress Europe

I am by no means a fan of weapons, but their existence cannot be denied and therefore these are photos of some of the guns and examples of the rockets used by the Germans in WWII.  It's a sobering reminder that even more powerful weapons are in use today.

V2 rocket and bunker.  Wernher von Braun, the inventor, was able to go to the United States as the Americans valued his technical ability.

   



By contrast, at the AtlankicWall Raversyde there were some animated films, included one by Ukrainian film maker Leonid Tyvoniuk, aimed at children. It explains what to do in case of a bomb alert and  aims to help children cope with stress and anxiety. It's an excellent little film, acknowledging how children will feel and reassuring them as far as possible.
