Re: Name This Building
The 18 story Prudential Building in Warsaw, Poland. As soon as I saw you gave the Eastern Front as a hint I thought Poland.

Re: Name This Building
Yes, the Prudential. The photo was taken during the Warsaw Uprising in late 1944.
Here is a photo of the building before the war:
The building is now known as the Warszawa Hotel.
OK, your turn!

"I know that building, its easy. Thats the....erm...the....dammit where did it go? It was here and now its gone."

Re: Name This Building
It's the Germania-Brauerei in Qingdao (or Tsingtao?), China.
It's a monument in Europe, built in 1987.
Edit: Not really a building but... I can find another if you want =)
