"If there is a lesson from Weimar, it’s that people turn to radical politics in times of despair, when they lose trust in established institutions, parties and leaders to deal with the crises affecting their lives. The way out of this is not to tell people that their concerns are irrational."

@militaryhistori Paging @germanbunkers here.

[Bart Debeer (@bartdebeer.bsky.social) @bart_debeer]

@militaryhistori I presume quite a bit, but not enough to integrate WW1 builds into WW2 complexes. The latter were all newly built, which you can see at Raversijde today, for instance.

Cool! A 10th c. copy of a text written in 745 by a monk in Roksem. In the text Flanders is mentioned for the first time ever as the monk referred to ‘pago Flandrinse’. State Archives, Bruges.

A thousand Russians are being killed and injured every day in Ukraine, mostly by drone attacks. This is what it looks like on the ground, as seen by a Russian soldier who angrily denounces Putin while standing amongst the corpses of his unit, of which he is the last survivor.

Just some of the over 700.000 artefacts found during the building of the Amsterdam metro.
This superb website has catalogued about 20.000 of them, such a delight to go through:

You can also see some of them in person at Rokin station.
