I came across this interesting photo of children handling a stick-grenade...I recall stories of my german friends describing the weaponry and ordinance littering the landscape...
cheers, Glenn

Great photo Glenn, i was talking to an old German guy in a Berlin pub, he was telling me how the kids used to go "fishing" with grenades just after the war when food was short!...
One wonders how many tragic accidents happened in those days.
She's a cute kid Lars!...

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
