The blown-up flak tower in Friedrichshain is buried in rubble

Against a pale sky a steep slope of broken stone and brick climbs to the grey concrete crown of a massive bunker; along its side a narrow-gauge track carries a line of tipper wagons up the heap. According to the source this was the blown-up flak tower in the Volkspark Friedrichshain in Berlin, being covered with rubble brought by light railway from the destroyed city; the mounds were later landscaped as hills.
