Unless I'm mistaken the concrete structure is a fortification, probably erected along the European coastline by the Nazis. Observation tower on top of gun emplacements.

Not every bulbous brutalist building was a nazi fortification!  Some were old Soviet buildings.  Or the Power Rangers base.

Luckily that one's not bulbous.

I had to go on Twitter to find out just what building the first one is (the second one is fictional, btw) and it is indeed a Nazi bunker.

I'd give you a cookie, but I already ate it to soothe the emotional trauma of visiting Twitter.  Next time, I'm just going to send a class D and then burn everything afterwards.

Uh, don't you mean "X"? 🤣

I will never not deadname Twitter.  Plus, it appears as "X.COM" in the url bar which makes me irrationally angry as an XCOM fan (yes, I know they have xcom.com)

I've been working on WWII since I was 6. The BBC's "World At War" is a good video primer.

Then you were done by age 12?

I know, right? I never really went on twitter until Elon trashed it and the wars started. Now I go just to "sadomasochist" myself, I think.

Nice try, Muskrat.

I don't even use twitter and even I looked up how easy it was to turn it back into twitter. Alarmingly so. Like when a producer does a "rewrite" of your script and all they do is a find & replace to change the character names. You can just find & replace to change them back.

I got off of "Twitter," but I still keep getting notifications from it.

You forgot the reruns.

Has Twitter become that bad? I remember people saying similar stuff before that clown has bought it. But then, people I never expected to leave it has stopped using it, so I'm guessing it is bad.

Never been, but I'm hearing bad things.
