    Wie zu erwarten war ist der Marktplatz viel zu klein..

  6. Thousands of trees planted in Devon to improve water quality

    Wonderful initiative, especially using a mix of native species. 🌳 🌳

    However, this doesn't offset rogue sewage outfall, nor trees chopped down in towns and cities.

  7. And the fuckers have just given us a hosepipe ban. While most of the South of the UK still sits under flooded fields.

  9. 'Blitzkreig Bar', a photo booth in New York City, popular during the Second World War. Possibly in Times Square, or Coney Island.

    I can't make out the name of the ship on the tallies, but the shoulder badges indicate that the three men are New Zealanders.

    My collection. #SWW #WW2 #History

  10. Today in 1942, at 1:30 a.m., work began on the Alaska Highway starting from Dawson Creek. The temperature dipped down to -35C & the arrival of American troops boosted the town's population from 600 to 10,000.
    Construction completed on Oct. 28, 1942.

  11. #OTD 1943 Minesweeping Trawlers HMT EARL KITCHENER & LORD GREY (part of 170th Minesweeping Group) depart Colombo, Sri Lanka for Madras (Chennai) then Calcutta (Kolkata), which is assessed vulnerable to enemy mining. They are fitted with LL (magnetic) and SA (acoustic) sweeps & will arrive at their destination on the 28th. The pic shows a typical minesweeping trawler, with the SA sweep in the β€˜stowed’ position above the bows. #Sweepers80 #RN #WW2 #SWW #NavalHistory #Histodons

  12. Today in 1901, Mona Parsons was born. She moved to the Netherlands in 1937. It was there, during WW2, that she used her house to help downed Allied pilots & the Dutch Resistance.
    She was eventually captured & put in a prisoner of war camp by the Nazis.

  14. #OTD 1943 due to reports that new variant mines have been swept in the Straits, a specialist from HMS VERNON is sent to Gibraltar to investigate. Exploitation of recovered mines remains a key element of mine countermeasures, allowing minesweepers & minehunters to adjust settings & tactics …. #RN #WW2 #SWW #NavalHistory @histodons @globalmaritimehistory

  15. #OTD 1943 Three German mines are swept in the Straits of Gibraltar. In Home Waters, aside from influence mines being swept off Yarmouth (5) & Dover (4), local sweepers have inadvertently swept British mines from a defensive field (HS 1) in the Bristol Channel during a skim-sweep to confirm the mines are β€˜watching’ at the correct depth #WW2 #SWW #RN #Histodons #NavalHistory
