My mother's eldest brother and his pregnant wife were killed by a V-2 in january 1945. The bomb targeted to Antwerp got deflected by a hit from a Canadian fighter pilot.
This is all that was left after another V-2 hit a medieval church in the last months of world war 2. The church itself was rebuilt and from salvaged material this structure was erected to stand alone as a lasting testimony to man's folly.

Back then the place had 30 sheep, and I don’t suppose horse/beef burgers had been invented.

This curious structure looks a smaller version of the Pantheon in Rome. Probably a special story is related to it. Other than that Velebit, Croatia, is a large natural park nothing conclusive found. But the Velebit mountain range had the same significance to the locals as Olympian range to Greeks and Fuji to Japan. Anyone from Croatia to enlighten us?
