This Birkenkopf one helped me to see how many of the German people suffered from the war, too. Of course I've been able to hear a lot of those stories from my husband's German family, too.Katrina Elisabethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083877882755665975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304636801774028050.post-33293591810548617572014-09-28T19:28:58.050-04:002014-09-28T19:28:58.050-04:00It's a nice walk up the Birkenkopf, and the vi...It's a nice walk up the Birkenkopf, and the views from the top over Stuttgart are awesome.

Memorials are good to remember yes the fallen, but also the mistakes of the past, so that hopefully they don't happen again! I visited a few while in Berlin and they were haunting!Camilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08272847682494279472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304636801774028050.post-90576362797294970532014-09-23T12:15:52.751-04:002014-09-23T12:15:52.751-04:00Wow, I didn't even know such a memorial existe...Wow, I didn't even know such a memorial existed!
