I was going back home and decided to stop an take some pictures of one of the old bunkers from WWII. 3 big ones like this in the city.

Now its used as a Club or for concerts. Kind of cool. The thing is so thick that they didn't even bother to build it underground. For that time there were no intelligent rockets or bombs like today.
There is another one of those Bunkers at the corner of my house, not as big but he's there.

Flak towers - Coo pics Cabra.

In 1945 the Berlin Flak towers were the last defending areas - I love History.

Thanks for the pics.
 
My girlfriend say that there are more than 700 bunkers in Hamburg, I think its interesting. I will inform my self and let you guys know, those things are impressive. Here is a picture I found, its from the German State archive. This is the kind of guns they used to put on top of the bunkers:

Cool knife mang! I being trying to hit a Les since Jeremy got his but with no success, in Europe its kind of difficult and way more expensive. If you guys see one let me know.

If you coming to Germany let me know with some time in advance about a month or so, so I can fix my time table and buy you a beer in Hamburg or Berlin.
That goes for any of you platinum playas.... Germany or Spain.
 
Probably gonna list a couple in the exchange later but wanted to offer Playas 1st. CPM3V

Chickenplucker, that's very nice of you to offer your Hortons here first. Please be sure to do so the next time you need to adjust your inventory, too! :thumbup: And I also please do it when I'm not on a trip, away from my computer :D
 
Cabra - Cool pics. Very institutional. Was that an architectural or military venue?:confused::D

Funny how times have changed -We now have bullets and knives that will penetrate all that and more :thumbup:
 
Rut, nice ESR. Illinois legal, but people stare at you like an axe murderer when you use it. Our family was at an apple orchard, a couple weeks ago, with friends and they couldn't open a taffy apple package. When they passed the package to me to open it I took out my ESR and zipped it open. They asked me why I carry such a big knife (2.5" blade). Before I could answer with the obvious answer my daughter said "That isn't a big knife. You should see some of his Hortons.":thumbup:
