Inside the lobby there are four very large miniatures (large miniatures…that’s fun) showing the whole area of Hanover, one for 1689 and one from the 1930s.
This one from 1945 when, according to Ms Wiki, 90% of the central town was destroyed. Looking at this thing was a powerful experience, stronger than a similar photo because you could walk around it, peer into it, and be overwhelmed by the destruction.
And to imagine what a small small piece this is of the overall loss of property and the overall loss of life is beyond imagining.
