These streets

Sometimes we forget how much things have changed over the course of mankind’s time on this planet. In some cases, the massive change wasn’t even that long ago, but we’ve adapted very quickly.

These two pictures are both of the same street corner, in a small village in Germany called Oberdorla. The first one was taken 75 years ago, showing G.I.’s from the 6th Armored Division. The second is today, the calm view making it easy to forget how many sacrifices were made.
