There was realy nothing left, even the churchbells (copper) are stolen
I was born just before the war, 11 days, and my granddad leaves a day later for sea. He was a fisherman and was at sea when the war startded, they had to go to the UK.
He voluntered for the navy and became skipper on a minesweeper.
Came back after five years. His brother also skipper on a minesweeper died in England.
But thats a long time ago.
