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.

It doesn't get much better than that, Hamburg! ❄️ What a wonderful morning this is – absolutely beautiful. Seeing the sun rise over a snow-covered city and the Tele-Michel is the perfect way to start the day. ☀️ Wrap up warm if you're heading out! 🧤☕

Pour clore cette semaine finalement très allemande, une petite vue de la Speicherstadt à Hambourg (non, je ne connaissais pas la personne qui était au balcon, mais c’est un chouette endroit pour se faire photographier, en fait). On est face au gros bloc d’entrepôts du Sandtorkai-Hof, construit en 1888. Août 2020.
.
Je vous laisse pour aller faire ma valise et finir trouze mille petits trucs avant de partir, on se retrouve en vacances dans quelques jours. 🥳
