Berlin now Winter photos Let it snow !

A spot of WW II history:
Andrea is standing above a special location. Toward the end of WWII, about 2 years before I was born, a German FLAK battery was located about 300 yards away from my home on the local sports field. (Onkel-Tom-Str.) It hit an Allied airplane during one of the big air raids as the planes flew overhead to hit downtown Berlin. My grandpa lived not far away from the Grunewald like I do now. Many occupants and neighbors left during the attacks their buildings to hide themselves in the edge of the Grunewald. The planes always came overhead at different levels. There was lots of battle noise, especially the antiaircraft guns nearby firing like hell. One time, my grandpa heard an amazing bang in his vicinity. He was about 500 yards away from 'Krumme Lanke' lake. An airplane had been hit & probably exploded in the air over the lake. On both sides of the lake my Grandpa recovered countless metal fragments. Outside silver, inside blackened. Also other foreign items were spread around everywhere. In the middle of the lake there was visible a huge oil spot, evidence that a big part of that plane had fallen in the lake. After the war ended, people probably picked up all the war 'souvenirs' but nobody cared about that hidden wrack of that plane. It must have been the beginning of the 1960's when suddenly a diver team tried to get the plane or its leftovers out of the lake. I've watched them working several times. The 4 divers had 2 small boats or floats & were busy the whole day long. At their camp right at the shore I saw next to diver equipment long belts of live ammo, also various metal items. They told to me, with a smile, not to pick up all the bullets & said that a huge part of the plane was held tight in the mud of the lake. Visible was its top only. Also the question if parts of dead bodies are still in there could not be answered at this time. They also told me they were going to get a 'monster suck machine' to get rid of all the mud. They explained that the plane was stuck about 3-5 yards deep in that mud. The lake was about 12 yards deep where they were working. About a week later the work with that 'monster sucker' has started. I could see masses of dirt and mud being ejected out of the water. After a few days suddenly the work was stopped & was never re-started. A bad accident was happened; one of the diver lost his arm. It probably was sucked in by that machine and pulled out from his body. I recall a big newspaper report about that tragic accident. From that time until now the work has been stopped, maybe forbidden, I do not know. But since that time, that big metal marker or buoy is still there. There is no boat traffic on that lake. During the 1960s the buoy was about 200 yards away of its current location. Nobody has gotten it out & most people probably have no idea what it is or why it is there. Now, when Krumme Lanke is frozen, it happens not every winter, people use it to sit down, put on or off their ice skaters, or take photos like we did.
