Mixed feelings about Hitler's Eagle's Nest burning down. While it's seemingly not a place of neo-Nazi pilgrimage, its National Trust gift shop vibe feels a bit incongruous. I guess it's hard to get these places right.

Something I've just seen & enjoyed in Wikipedia s.v. #VickyMcClure (the actress). 'In 2015 Nottingham Express Transit named tram 224 after her. On her maiden trip she was asked to leave the tram for fare evasion. Having been offered a free ride, she did not have a ticket'.

Would have been justified in happening in 1945. Not justified now.

My instant feeling is that while burning it was a crime, it should not be rebuilt.....

Rather a shame it's gone, though. Interesting to visit despite the history. The equivalent of a superior tea room on top of Snowdon.

It is always difficult to know what to do with these places, making it generally more open and accessible may well have stopped it becoming too much of a place of pilgrimage

Sundowner in Letna Park at the end of another great day with my @WeAreTripsmiths tour group in Prague. We've been covering the history of Czechoslovakia from 1939 to 1989, and it's proved to be emotional at times. It's a tour I'd very much like to do again, so watch this space.

Good for her for keeping some pressure on the trigger and not listening to nagging from Reddit finger guys. The first rule of gun safety is to be yourself and have fun out there.
