#FotoVorschlag today, "Mein Lieblings-Urlaubsfoto", (My favourite vacation photo) at least this is one of my favourites. Shot (pun intended) from Oscarsborgs festning (Oscarsborgs fortress) in Oslofjorden. Oscarsborg was built on an island, Kaholmen, in the narrowest part of the fiord.

On May 28, the Kenosha Evening News reported German acknowledgement of the attempt on Reinhard Heydrich's life the day before. It came at an already dramatic point in World War II, sandwiched between reports of the fighting in Kharkov and Tobruk.
