Cheers,

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!

The coach ride up that road is quite unforgettable, and not for the faint-hearted !

What, and where's this then?:

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

looks like a Church, Greek Orthodox? climate looks Central/Northern Europe

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 ?

Is it associated with R. Heydrich?

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,

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

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.

Since it's been a while, I'll offer up this building for ID.

Well the old name the photo what it isn't trick is always handy in a photo quiz... but the clue still stands good for what it really was. Full marks for not just blurting out the name of the file as an answer though, plenty fall at that low fence.

Hello all! Here's one for you.

Where EXACTLY was this photo taken?

Hint: The year is 1945.

Well, looks like the soldier leaning against the wall is carrying a Mosin-Nagant though it's hard to tell so Eastern front for sure. Berlin maybe?

Yes, that is a Russian and it is Berlin but can you name the location? Another hint is that this is where some of the heaviest fighting occurred during the battle.

Not too sure what you're looking for as an answer and as I don't know Berlin all that well I'll just take a wild guess. I imagine we are staring at the Spree River, I am assuming that it the Moltke bridge in the background. The Germans had attempted to blow it and were not able to succeed and it was eventually secured by the Russians. Is that what you're looking for?
