That heavy flak tower is impressive! I never knew they were so huge.
And "The Fighting Yank" comic is uh, interesting too.

Yeah that was a little wierd.
I remember reading a time life book about D-Day today, and it showed a B-17 bomber lying in a bombed out building in Berlin. The crew crawled out, walked along the Adolf Hitler Strasse and shouted out "Taxi!" while a German soldier stared daggers at them.
