First snow! Just passed my local kebab shop owner, who was making snowballs and chucking them at a billboard with a large photo of an older lady on. He told me he was going to hit her in the teeth, and he did it first time! So magical.

The Nazis extended Germany’s national bank and used it to store gold stolen from holocaust victims - including wedding rings and fillings - formed into gold bars.
The gold was then moved to a mine in Thuringia as the Soviets approached the capital in 1945. It was discovered by US forces.

While this was the official office of East Germany’s leaders, most of the real work took place in the Central Committee (ZK) building next door. This one was mainly used for meetings and ceremonial events.
