Gefechtsturm

Gefechtsturm

The room that contained the entrance to the bunker had some interesting photographs mounted on the walls, as well as a curious collection of various toilets that were used underground.

This is a photograph of the remains of a flak tower (flakturm) in Friedrichshain, Berlin - May 2nd, 1946. The sheer size of the structure and the damage done to it was incredible.

I have found that viewing these photos while listening to music is like having my very own little documentary playing.

For these and the Taunton gallery I used Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber. You would know it from Platoon. It is called the saddest music ever written.

It is some how appropriate when viewing some of these old places.
