... not really but why not? ... looks really neat. Not sure it's still there as it looks to have been placed while restoration work took place. I visited Tempelhof (Berlin, Germany) in 2002 and it's a wonderful place if your into Architecture and History.

If you look it up on Google Earth, the timeline slider goes back to 1943 (aerial recce rather than satellite of course)
