Even though I never served in the city of Dresden, I still got to visit on pday and for some meetings. This city is one of the most beautiful city I have ever seen. There is also another amazing war story associated with this city. It too was totally destroyed. This is a picture of the opera house in August of 2011. What a perfect day!
Also to be found in this city is the largest Volks Wagon factory. We went in ans got the full tour. The have everything from wood floors, to keep the medical costs of employees down, to a noise producer to keep the birds from pooping on the building.
This is the famous Frauenkirche. As you look at thr building you can see black bricks and then bright bricks. The reason for this is that the church was destroyed so much in WWII that they could not repair the structure. So instead they took all of the full bricks that were left and rebuilt the church exactly the way it was with the old and the new.
This is another center of Dresden. They too were hit hard in the war which is why it looks a little dirty but still breath taking.
