This is a bell from the bell tower of the 1936 Olympic games, hosted by Berlin, in the early years of Nazi Germany. So obviously everybody in Germany wants to forget about the Nazis - so the bell came down and this is the lame attempt to conceal the fact that this is a swastika. Come on guys!
Hi Karen!
ReplyDeleteI just stopped by your blog and found it very interesting! Don't stop writting, I'm really interested in impressions of people living away from home.

Hello there Tina,
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't kept this blog - I moved away from Berlin in October 2010 but while I was there wrote some stuff for exberliner.com and labuzz.com - both websites that have a focus on Berlin. Thanks though!
