    The plane take off in inclement weather was scarey enough. Great music. We must of course, never forget the violence of WW2 as a deterrent, but unfortunately those who do not pay heed to history are destined to repeat it.

    This turret is from Gneisenau battleship. Museum is opened in summer time only.

  • @Ah01
    @Ah01 5 месяцев назад

    In US there are four Iowa -class battleships, two South Dakotas and uss North Carolina, all with WW2 triple turrets. Each one of those ships has three triple turrets, so at least 21 of those 16inch triples are left. At least uss Missouri and Wisconsin were in active service during the operation desert storm at beginning of nineties. So, the cesar-turret from Gneisenau is not that unique, still interesting place and well worth a visit.

    Many thanks for sharing my friend. I see it all as a great memorial never to do anything like this again. It's always frightening to see what the Nazis were able to do, all of which was only possible under inhumane conditions and prisoners of war. Big like for reminder!👍#36
