It was the last winter of the Second World War. The first week of February 1945. Far away in Europe, the Nazi war machine was crumbling; the Soviets were closing in on Berlin; the Americans would soon be crossing the Rhine. The war would be over in just a few months. The Big Three — Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin — were already at Yalta, meeting to decide what the world would look like when the fighting was finally done.
Very cool. I lived a couple hundred feet from there about 25 years ago, and I had no idea. I see on street view the house has been horribly renovated since that photo, but at least it hasn't been torn down and replaced. Yet.

Amazing! I haven't been past it myself since I took that photo years ago, so I was wondering if it was still there. Worried it might not be!
