Your beard? ;)

The mentioned town of Wesel had to deal with one of the most fierce bombings at the end of war (especially when you realize that is was a rather small town back then) turning it into a lunar landscape. Kalkar is indeed not far from the Rhineland Battlefield. In this area the ww2 is still...
