Weir complex Hagestein at Dawn. This weir complex regulates the level of water in the River Neder-Rijn, which means that it is closed for some 265 days a year. Ships are then able to pass through a lock 220 metres long. Alongside this lock is the weir, consisting of two abutments and a central pier slung between which are two so-called visor gates. The weir service buildings sit atop concrete piers supported by arches and reached up a steel spiral stair. These concrete assemblies give the complex its distinctive civil engineering look. It is being renovated at the moment.

Even dead you remain the enemy and loser...................

The German militairy cemetry in Vladso (Belgium)

While the cemetries of the Allied troops have stark white colors, those of the German troops are gray- black and look dead and gloomy.

While the militairy cemetries are an example of discipline and structure, the German variants lack alignment and logic.

It was long be argued that this would be regulated in the Articles 225 and 226, from the Treaty of Versailles, but whoever reads these articles will find that this view is incorrect.

The real reason is that the French after the end of the insane war were ordered tot give the German dead their final resting place and collected the bodies in the sector of Ypres and burried them on free pieces of land, altough it was not obvious that they each received an individual tombstone.

So what we see here is in fact a mass grave, covered with granite slabs bearing their names.

Black evokes bad feelings and the Germans were in the eyes of the Allied the agressor, despite the fact that during investigations after the insane war it appeared that all warring parties had engaged in aggression and had committed atrocities. France, England and Italy had already secretly divided the territories of Germany and its colonies, the Habsburg Empire and the Ottoman Empire, in the heat of the battle!

It was of paramount legal importance that, according to the President of the United States Wilson's conviction, Germany should be held responsible but not blamed for the insane war breaking out. However they were incomprehensible responsible for the reparations!

The fact that the Germans and English soldiers at the front still had peaceful feelings towards eachother is evident from the inconceivable Christmas truce in 1914 that took place in the sector of Ypres.

This incomprehensible event of peace and fraternity during the heat of the battle took also place on field sites in many other sections at the front.

The German front soldiers started on Christmas eve 1914 by singing "Silent Night" and shouting "Merry Christmas".

When the British soldiers realized that this was well-meant, they came out of their trenches and even went to exchange their Christmas presents from home.

On Christmas Day, they played football together in the no-man's-land, the piece of land between the trenches of the warring armies; ordinairy soldiers who were tired of the war could momentarily throw of the yoke of the insane war.

When the army commanders, or rather the butchers, got wind of this, these fraternizing actions were officially stricktly forbidden from above and held out very severe punishments if the fightings were not resumed immedialy. The ensuing battles would claim millions of lives on the whole front.
