  • On the edge of an old Soviet parade ground, peeling murals show the physical style of Russian marching techniques seen in this army boot camp in the former East German peninsular called Halbinsel Wustrow near Rostock.

Wustrow was once a WW2 German anti-aircraft artillery position then housed civilian refugees before the eventual Soviet occupation of the former DDR during the Cold War, up until 1990 and the fall of communism and the Berlin Wall. The camp was ransacked and all its assets stripped before its desertion that summer and is a reminder of a fallen ideology

  • Reflections in the window of the Cukernia Noworolski cafe of the of the towers of Renaissance cloth hall and towers of the Church of St Mary on Rynek Glowny market square, on 23rd September 2019, in Krakow, Malopolska, Poland.

  • Interior of the Cabin for the Wounded at the WW2-era Franja Partisan Hospital, on 20th June 2018, near Dolenji Novaki, Slovenia. From December 1943 until the end of the war as part of a broadly organized resistance movement against the Fascist and Nazi occupying forces, the hospital was set in a deep gorge in rural Slovenia where fighters were brought in from many areas to be treated in this secret location. 578 were treated here but the mortality rate were only 10% and the site was never discovered by German forces. Franja is in the UNESCO Tentative List of World Heritage sites.

  • On the edge of an old Soviet parade ground, peeling murals show the physical style of Russian marching techniques seen in this army boot camp in the former East German peninsular called Halbinsel Wustrow near Rostock. For the benefit of recruits or as reminders of Soviet discipline, the picture shows a soldier marching in that unmistakable goose-stepping style reminiscent of the Nazi era, with high forward kicks and a strenuous arm movement to the chest as seen in iconic May Day celebrations in Red Square. Wustrow was once a WW2 German anti-aircraft artillery position then housed civilian refugees before the eventual Soviet occupation of the former DDR during the Cold War, up until 1990 and the fall of communism and the Berlin Wall. The camp was ransacked and all its assets stripped before its desertion that summer and is a reminder of a fallen ideology

  • The faces of theatre-goers mix with the actors at the entrance of the Vaudeville in London's Strand where Arthur Miller's Broken Glass is playing.

  • Wide landscape and architecture of the Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburger Tor) in Berlin Mitte. The structure is a former city gate, rebuilt in the late 18th century as a neoclassical triumphal arch, and now one of the most well-known landmarks of Germany. It is located west of the city centre of Berlin at the junction of Unter den Linden and Ebertstraße, immediately west of the Pariser Platz. When the Nazis ascended to power they used the Gate as a party symbol. The Gate only just survived World War II and was one of the damaged structures still standing in the Pariser Platz ruins in 1945 alongside the nearby Reichstag.

  • A cross in sunlight shows the Katyn memorial set in a forest in Warsaw, Poland. The Katyn war cemetery is a Polish military cemetery located in Warsaw commemorating the massacre of Polish officers during the second world war although the town of Katyn is a small village near Smolensk, Russia. It contains the remnants of 4,412 Polish officers of the Kozelsk prisoner of war camp, who were murdered in 1940 in what is called the Katyn massacre. The soldiers were buried in six large mass graves. Until 1991 it was known that the Nazis were responsible but after the end of Communism did they Russians admit that Stalin's forces killed the Poles. There is also a Russian part of the cemetery, where an undisclosed number of victims of the Soviet Great Purges of the 1930's were buried by the NKVD. The cemetery was officially opened in 2000.
