Town Square, Uelzen Germany – April of 1945 vs. 2021
It’s difficult to picture a time when your home was at risk or might have been invaded, even if you’ve spent your whole life there. However, in the case of war, this is generally what happens, especially on a continent like Europe, where almost everything is linked by road.
The first thing that strikes you is the distinct difference in quality between these pictures. One of them, for example, depicts a burning oil refinery during the Allied bombing run against Germany shortly after WWII brought an end.
