This is a pretty cool page. Click on the photos to see them change to what they look like today. It's nothing super exciting, but it's interesting how little some of those places have changed since that day.

Nice set of images. I am always impressed with the reconstruction that took place after the war, especially churches that were heavily damaged. They could have just razed them and started over, but the level of detail in repair and rehabilitation is amazing.

What ryan said. I'm looking at the damages buildings as they existed in 1944 and how very little change has occcured since. In the US we would have redeveloped 3 or 4 times over since then.

Thanks for posting.
