Cologne confirmed...By a find in a junk shop as well...well car boot anyway!

same square, same shops... :P :P :P :P :P
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.

Well there we are, well done Scrim a lovely contemporary comparison.
A virtual 6 pack and Snickers would be lovely.
As for your new photo. Poll, I have been rolling in the aisles, spotting assorted picklehaube sticking out of the ground all over the place.
Maybe the foxhole scene was taken in a Cologne park - and no, I am not opening up google earth to search for it!
