were just for one year in particular but i don't know it this was repeated throughout the years of the luftwaffe raids or they only found one years worth of records but it is nonetheless fascinating how we were able to come up with such inventive out of the box thinking that was i guess quite hi tech at the time.

granted there were monumental f**k ups as well but there we go *cough* #covid
