Right you are Von Poop

I'm not so good at this quizzing game lol but I'm glad you were able to decipher the picture with only "boy this is high up"

Interesting piece of information though, it's still around and they use it as a restaurant now. So if your ever in the area of Berchtesgaden, be sure you have a camera and an empty stomach!

Unhappy Re: Name This Building

The closest I could guess would be Italy just because of the statues on the pillars. Exact building I have no idea.

Did an event of WW2 happen at this building or was it just a building in an area that experienced WW2 combat?

Off-the-wall guess ; the Karl Borromaeus Church in Prague ?

That goes to Martin I think.
It is indeed the Church where Jozef Gabcik & Jan Kubis, two exceptionally brave men, were finally cornered, after depriving the Nazi's of one of their brightest stars.


Operation Anthropoid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And what looks like an excellent free book download on the Czech occupation and Heydrich's assassination here:
Ministry of Defence - ASSASSINATION <br>Operation ANTHROPOID 1941-1942

Next!

Cheers,
Adam.

I was leaning towards that direction but I have never seen photos of the upper portion of the building. Always the ground level. Chucks.

Red face Re: Name This Building
I could just say that I'm brilliant but when PzJgr said 'Greek orthodox' it rang a far-off bell....

I too had never seen a photo of the Church ; only the basement windows.
