Oh no, it seems Russia already bombed it without us noticing… sorry to see it being so destroyed.
(If it’s not obvious, you should have said “now and then”, you switched the order of the pictures in your headline).
Damn, I guess I seriously missed the news this week, I didn’t know Gdansk got bombed
It used to look better
Putin is a war criminal and should be tried even if he dies before a trial can happen
Looked better in color, not sure why they decided to turn it Sepia.
Very beautiful old town and cheap as hell food and beer. Was there last summer.
I visited it two years ago and it is a wonderful town with one of the best WW2 museums I have ever visited. Actually, WW2 started nearby.
The city is rebuilt from scratch as you can see in the photos but it is not the same as it used to be: all German heritage buildings were removed/transformed in the reconstruction.
Did the Police chief get a hold of a nuke this time instead of an RPG? 🤣
Sorry to go a little off-topic, but why was Gdansk bombed out in ’57? I don’t remember any wars in that reigon in the mid 50s. Were they just really slow to rebuild from WWII or something?
NOVIGRAD you mean
Isn’t it ”now and then”?
Ohh that’s sad. What happened?
r/AfterBeforeWhatever
I am from Italy, luckily we did not suffer as much destruction as Germany did. But when I learned about ww2 and the destruction that the German cities gad to endure….my heart cries.
Yes, they started the war, but it was unbelievable to be that entire cities could be destroyed. Each house was probably part of of the childhood of a lot people, each building was part of a little piece of the history of Europe.
