  Nice pictures..amazing how well the areas were rebuilt,  Some areas were totally destroyed.  Did a lot of touring when I was stationed in Germany for 9 years.  You can't imagine what some of those areas looked like then until you see pictures like these.

Br. Gary, I thank you for the gift to us all and the reminders of the sacrifices made by so many to liberate Europe and the world from the then enemies of freedom and democracy!

Very impressive! Man you wonder how they could have ever rebuilt some of those buildings!
