Probably because there isn't enough free space to build industry and expanding cities.

All bunkers are blocked because of gay people (no offense) doing dirty things in there.


The totally opposite is that they are still making memorials.
Last year they dug up an old Messerschmitt BF109 not far from my home.
They even found remains of the pilot, but the rest was just torn up metal.

The forrest is still full of old ammo as the germans tried to blow up a depot.
They used too much TNT, so everything got scattered over 25km.
People are still trying to excavate it, already took them 10 years.

A good friend of our family has been a B17 tail gunner in Europe and the far east.
He never talkes about it, but my dad says he got bullet and knife scars all over him.


Can't imagine how it would have been those days.
