Do you know what Germany looked like in 1945? Most kids like you have no
idea.

Of course I do. Several of my dad's friends were in the occupation of
Germany and had scrapbooks full of the war damage. I have also seen it
on video. One of the best accounts is the video "Berlin 1945" which is
a documentary on the Russian advance into the Nazi capital with all
the footage live. Berlin looks shattered and the Reichschancellory,
Reichstag, and Brandenburg Gate grounds look like a lunar landscape.
Its surreal to say the least.
However, the Germans are a resourceful, well-organized, industrious
people and survived to rebuild the city and the nation, same for
reunification.
