Its incredile but that city breaths WW2.
On a lot of buildings bullet marks were still visible.
Impressive were also the remainings of some FLAK towers and bunkers.
I'll post some fotos in the next days about this trip.
Here a few of the Flak Tower
This Flakturm tower has been partially demolished after the war. A small part of the remaining tower can be visited. The tower was of the first generation.
The Flakturm (Flag Tower) is a concrete bunker that is placed in a city. The bunker was provided with a space where people (in the largest tower itself was room for 20,000 people) could shelter during bombings and there was space for storage of goods. The bunker was equipped with Flak anti-aircraft gun (Flak is the acronym for Flugabwehrkanone, also called Fliegerabwehrkanone).
These large towers were built during the Second World War in the cities Berlin (Germany), Hamburg (Germany) and Vienna (Austria).
