Re: [Cz-L] Re: building on north side of Ringplatz

Hardy, are you sure the building was blown up in 1941?
This seems very unlikely to me, because it would mean
that I remember the building from before, i.e. From before
I was 4 years old.

Does anyone remember the explosion which took place in the spring
of 1944? The one I mentioned in my previous message?
If you do, where did this explosion take place?
