One hundred metres on one week later

One hundred metres on from last

week’s sighting.

At present there are two swans at Charlemont Bridge on the Grand Canal in South Dublin.

Whether this is the same swan as last week, who knows.

What do we ever know about anything?

On this day, April 8, 1943 Otto and Elise Hampel were murdered by guillotine in Plötzensee Prison, Berlin.

After the German victory in France they began distributing postcards opposed to Hitler. It took the SS a long time to find them.

Their heroism inspired Hans Fallada to write ‘Alone in Berlin’.

In the book the catalyst for their project was the news that their only son had fallen in the French campaign.

Aren’t words like fallen and campaign similar to Putin’s Special Military Operation?

The lies, brutality and evil of war. The rape that happens in war.
