Great pics! I visited Tallinn @ the end of 2004,what a great city! I recognised the square in pic. Got to say it was quite surreal how so much of the lovely city survived such a heavy bombing. I visited the area of the city that was levelled. I'm glad so much survived,some of the friendliest people i've ever met. Great place,Stewy

Tallinn, was not under the heavy bombing, just lost about 5 percent in the war time ( as I think other european towns too)

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
