Most people who pass by such a war memorial commemorating the victims will not have experienced the horrors of war firsthand. A dialogue invented by the writer Paul Harding might help. It is from a medieval detective novel, and the following exchange takes place: "Tell me, brother, when you went to war in France with your little brother, were you happy?" Athelstan felt his heart leap. "Of course." He smiled thinly. "I was young then. My blood was boiling, and I longed for great adventures." "And when you found your brother dead and cold as ice on the battlefield and returned to England... what was there?" Athelstan looked out into the courtyard; it was slowly getting dark. "In the Gospel, Sir John, Christ says that at the end of the world, the heavens will shake, and the planets will fall to earth in blazing fire." Athelstan closed his eyes. He felt Francis's spirit quite clearly. “When I found my brother dead in the field,” he continued, “it was as if heaven had fallen to earth for me.” (Source: “The House of the Red Butcher” by Paul Harding)

These sound mirrors were created in the late 1920s, the period between the two world wars. Although today they remind the walker passing by of a modern sculpture, they were not planned and built as works of art, but rather had a military background: the inward-curved surface was intended to capture the sounds coming from the sea - like a radio telescope - and thus provide early warning of surprise enemy aircraft attacks.

As a memorial to the many dead, such monuments - usually called "war memorials" in English - are still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." says the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke 2, verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny. Therefore, instead of the previously most common "war memorial", the term "fallen memorial" is now sometimes used in German to emphasize the aspect of remembering the victims. In addition, each of these countless memorials has a timeless, permanently valid message: to remind our current and all future generations - again and again - to keep the peace.

Built in 1810 (and later expanded) on the site of a former fishing village. Now mostly an area of leisure, a handful of fishing boats still operate from here and sell in the nearby fish market.

A forerunner of radar, acoustic mirrors were built on the south and northeast coasts of England between about 1916 and the 1930s. The ‘listening ears’ were intended to provide early warning of incoming enemy aircraft.
