In other countries (especially Belgium, France or the UK) the Great War is clearly more present than the Second World War. In German history, both wars are the proof for the downfall of mankind but - perceived - the cruelties of WW2 are dominating here in Germany due to our ashaming historical legacy and millions of inexpressible crimes against humanity.

Apart from that, when walking through Hamburg-Rahlstedt, I found this memorial to the fallen heroes of World War I by coincidence, getting the proof that the utter sacrifice of brave men of all nations (and German soldiers) in the first World War hasn't been forgotten as well.

Lest we forget.

Rye is one of the prettiest villages in England's Southeast. It's the sort of place that visitors who don't want to appear to be tourists wish they didn't like so much. Yes, it is full of tourists and day-trippers. Yes, its high street is lined with such tourist magnets as art galleries, antique shops, twee little tea shops, and craft shops!

Two weeks in #belgium🇧🇪 were over too fast some summers ago and so was my photographic #journey into some facts and parts of #worldwar1. Not only was #inflandersfields created at this place, indeed the youngest fallen hero is buried here: #vjstrudwick is told to have fallen at the age of 15 - unbelievable and sad! 😢 Lest we forget all those who gave their utter sacrifice for freedom - true heroes they were!

Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery in Poperinge, Flanders, is the prime witness of more than four years of violent warfare. From 1915 until 1920, the hamlet of Lijssenthoek became the venue for the biggest evacuation hospital in the Ypres Salient.

A nice view on Brighton Pier in semi-optimal weather conditions. Not what I have expected but it was worth a visit nevertheless, must come back when this area is more crowded 😊 !

Back in 2018, we finally made it to the most-famous site of #sanfranciscocity and although the #goldengatebridge is located a litte bit outside, a walk to this place is one of the best things you can do when being there. Every single step was worth this view!
