– From Wolfgang Borchert's poem "There's only one choice" ("Dann gibt es nur eins"), written in 1947 shortly before his death at just 26.

I'm not usually into poetry and grand literature, but reading Borchert's works about World War II and its aftermath at school left a lasting impression on me. So whenever I see memorials or #graves from that time, Borchert isn't far from my mind. You can read the full poem in English and the original German, along with context and links, here: http://www.swans.com/library/art13/xxx123.html

This is a section of #Brno Central Cemetery, Ústřední hřbitov, with the graves of German #soldiers of the Second World War for #CemeterySunday.

Finalement, je ne suis pas complètement sur que ce soit un figuier étrangleur

🇫🇷 Début mai 2006, j'effectuais une visite au musée des chemins de fer néerlandais à Utrecht, quelques impression de la visite il y a 20 ans.

1. Les autorails DE-I ou "Blauwe Engelen" (Anges bleus) était surnommé ainsi à cause de leur livrée. Ils circulaient sur des lignes secondaires et même en trafic transfrontalier entre Maastricht et Liège dans les années 1970.
2. Locomotive de la série 1000, les premières machines des NS aux côté des célèbres automotrices "Hondekop" (tête de chien) et une "Sprinter" de première génération.
3. Instant de rêve devant cette voiture de la Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits de l'Orient-Express.
4. Une machine de la série 1100 dans son état d'origine, ces machines sont de fabrication française (Alsthom comme l'entreprise s'appelait alors) semblable aux BB 8100 de la SNCF. A côté, on peut apercevoir un bout d'un autorail diesel Mat'34.

🇬🇧 Early May 2006, I visited the National Dutch Railway Museum in Utrecht. A few impressions of that visit 20 years ago.

1. The DE-I railcars nicknamed "Blauwe Engelen" (Blue Angel) because of their livery. They operated mainly on branch lines but also in International traffic between Maastricht and Liège in the 1970's.
2. A Class 1000 Electric locomotive, the first of the NS next to one of the most known EMU in Netherlands : the "Hondekop" (Dog's head) and a "Sprinter" of the first generation.
3. Dreaming for a moment with this carriage of the CIWL (International Company of Sleeping-Cars) Orient-Express.
4. A locomotive class 1100 in original state and livery. They were built by Alsthom (like the company then was named) and are looking identical as some SNCF locomotives too. (SNCF class BB 8100). Next to it, we can see a piece of a DMU class Mat'34.
