hey guys........lily here!

Last September, when I stood in those barracks - three tier high - four people across - hundreds in one barracks and one wood stove in a wooden barracks with cracks all over the walls.........I can only imagine!!

Lily,

it probably felt just like... 60 years ago when the people still were there.

For some strange resons everybody remembers winters during WW II as extremely cold

Can you imagine the winters prisoners spent there during that era? Unbelievable!!

The Nazi military remembers the winters on the Eastern front & their kopfschmerz at Stalingrad.

That they do.... They didn't learn from history (i.e. Napoleon) when they went to Russia, but then again Hitler did have Parkinsons by then and was breaking down. My dad was laughing at Cheney about that. Says he looked like a snowman in his "ski" gear.
