This was the German Weather Station Kurt found in Labrador.
A piece of the coast is leased to an other state, the inhabitants had to vacate it.
Later the railway line crossing the leased territory was called "longest tunnel" of the country which let it out on a lease.
Why? And where?
Undefeated afield he gave his superior enemy one runaround after another. After WW2 he didn't get pension. Hence his former enemy was collecting donations for him. Even a dinosaur was named after him. Where he was waging war he's well known still today. The loyal supporters he got from there, received their pensions from the FRG after all.
Who was the commander in question, and who fought with him?
Task 25
Where do you find these???
Okay, I think its land Finland was forced to lease to the Soviet Union after WWII. The train ran through an area known as the Porkkala Naval Base, also called Porkkalanniemi. At the time it was Finlands longest train,even though it officially ran through the leased land of the Soviet Union.
Task 26
General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, who commanded German Imperial Army in East Africa and fought with the Askaris, who were african natives that fought under German command. It was the surviving Askaries who were paid by the German government.
The dryosaurid species Dysalotosaurus lettowvorbecki was named after Lettow-Vorbeck.
Again we travel, this time back in time. Also there is an anniversary.
We meet a man, one of the most lettered of his time. Who showed backbone. His knowledge of languages let him compare common translations of the Bible with early Greek copies. Errors he made public and he stood up to Catholic rites and doctrines. This attracted the attention of Rome, since the reformation was under way. Some took him for a reformer but in serious controversial subjects he didn't take somebody's part. A historian wrote the Catholic church didn't want to acknowledge him as one of them, the reformers couldn't.
Exactly 500 years ago he published the New Testament in Greek - it was the first print of it in Greek. Also he campaigned for the translation of the Bible into vernacular, that he wrote in the prologue of his translation. His opponents burned his books, the Pope forbid them.
Who was the man?
Task 27
Erasmus, full name was Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus.
Brave guy to go up against two religions during those days...
Marine mussels can stick themselves in a flexible way to an underground, if ship hull, rock or what else. The glue is in the focus of research because it's enormous tear-proof so the mussels withstand waves and streams. A speciality is the allocation of soft and hard components in one glue rope. The scientists can imagine to use such material for embeddings in wet environment and medical usage to repair tendon and bone damages.
What is the name of the marine mussel's anchor cables?
Today when I reversed out of a parking site I tipped another submarine, sorry. Yes, the VII C didn't have parking assist, and I don't cover the propellers with fenders.
To the owner of the short, fat thing with (now) a ding I'll pay a new finish.
But not everyone who tells me 'that was mine' will get it so please tell me where is the parking place of the boats.
small hint: the cool place is located on the outskirts of a town you find on SHO map, too. It's enough to tell me the name of this town.
Well, where did I crapped out during shunting? (enlarged picture HERE)
