That must be around 1000 ek2s. Did they get these from actual POWs or from a factory?

Well that is just about amazing - though it makes you wonder why - the symbolism is a bit too...German to me.

Wasn't there another museum in Russia - I think is was Moskau - where a lot of EK's were stored in a very long glas vitrine around the outer walls of a room? It really looked like an Aquarium filled to the top with "EK-fishes".

It makes perfect sense if they really are in the floor and you can WALK all over them To the victor go the spoils. Remember in Saddam Hussein Int'l Airport he had the likeness of George Bush Sr. in tiles on the floor so that all visitors could walk all over his face.

WOW In Arabian countries, I believe it's looked upon as a big insult, for the sole of someone's footwear to touch you.

Yea - I guess that makes sense...well here is what we thought of the airport...
