Perhaps the
most well-known pieces of BunkerArt could be found inside Turm 4 of the
Batt. Todt. Nowadays all has been destroyed by 'Graffity Artists' and
lost forever... Fortunally I took pictures 07-1998, at that time the
fresco's and slogans were still untouched other than by time... special
thanks to RdG for the recent
photo's! |
As a start a couple of fresco's where the British
prime minister during the war sir Winston Churchill was the direct
subject: |
|
|
|
|
"General |
W.C.: |
|
" Die Zukunft |
Nebel" |
|
sieht plotzlich |
|
|
so grau aus |
|
und |
|
|
verschleiert |
|
|
...!" # |
Suddenly the future looks very grey and
misty ... general fog! |
|
King George VI of England is
smiling and directing Winston Chruchill (of course smoking a sigar)
where to look as he scans the horizon in search of a friend like general
fog. Churchill is looking for an friend like general winter on the
eastern front who stopped German troops just 50km from the centre of
Moscow... |
|
|
|
Winston
Churchill is crying... holding a sign that says: England + Russland =
Sieg. So England and Russia together will not win! |
|
|
"W.C."
- WIE LANGE NOCH? # |
Winston Churchill, how much longer? |
with a cartoon of a very sweatty Winston
Chruchill awating defeat... |
|
|
|
W.C. |
|
|
Wer frech ist, der muss |
|
leiden, nun musst du |
|
erdulden, was du |
|
hast verschulden!'
# |
W.C.:
The one being impudent has to suffer, now you will have to bear your debts. |
|
|
|
Sieg ------- S.O.S. |
Winston
Chruchill looking glad (Sieg, Victory) and sad (S.O.S., help) #.
He tells his people that victory awaits,
but in fact he is loosing the war... |
|
|

Der Gott der Eisen wachsen liess, |
der wollte
keine Knechte!
# |
Der
Gott, der Eisen wachsen ließ, der wollte keine Knechte; Drum gab er Säbel, Schwert und Spieß dem Mann in seine Rechte; Drum gab er ihm den kühnen Mut, den Zorn der freien Rede,
Daß er bestände bis aufs Blut, bis in den Tod die Fehde (Ernst Moritz
Arndt) |
