| The airfield with some nice Wilgas (l) and some maybe migs (r) |

| Julian having a beer with some nice gents at the amazing palace belonging to the owner of Ketrzyn airfield, we stayed in a lovely room for €35 per night including the biggest hot and cold breakfast you've ever seen. Mmmm the apple blinis.... |
 |
| where we stayed from above, with cow sheds out the back and those nice sculptures all over the park, you can tell them by their red colour - unfortunately the fisherman by the pond isn't easily recognisable from the air |
Ketrzyn is a pretty little East Prussian town with the solid classic / jugendstil buildings to match.
 |
| Hmm should have taken a photo of the main street, but this is part of the church buildings on top of the hill. |
 |
| Part of the bunker complex, note railway line leading here from Ketrzyn airfield approx 6km away. |
Hitler spent 800 days of his last 3.5 years staying at
this bunker complex in what is now Eastern Poland, which was the military headquarters for the eastern front. It is a very large complex that is quite difficult to photograph as at the end of the war the Nazis tried to destroy the complex, with the limited success to be expected in attempting to destroy massive concrete buildings. Now many remains are covered in plants and are as well disguised as they were in the war with that nifty camoflage netting.
