- We're continuing our dive into the history of Munich during the WWII era. While Munich was the birthplace of an evil ideology that sent the world over the brink, it was also where a resistance movement nearly snuffed out that evil on a few different occasions. Much to see and learn here!

I´m glad you retracted from the bakery allegation. This bakery on Zweibrückenstrasse exists just for a few yars. Your footage must be quite new because the construction on Ludwigsbrücke is still going on and will probably last up until 2024. The Viscardigasse, to avoid to salute at Feldherrnhalle, was called "Drückebergergasse".
Don't forget Sophie Scholl and the White Rose
@@larry1824 We don´t forget them. The spot where they gathered for the last time (fence at Ostbahnhof) is just 8 minutes away from the place where I live. And Prinzregentenplatz 16 is only 3 minutes walking distance.
@@vonpfrentsch Sophie faced death so bravely her Nazi executioner she unnerved him. Heroine for us all
I was an Army Military Policeman in Mainz Germany 1982-85. The amount of history throughout Germany is astounding. Mainz is right on the Rhine and is the location of Patton's Third Army being the first to cross the Rhine into the heart of Germany in March of 1945.
Oh man. I would love to go there. Love that country.
Indeed yes, I'm English but lived in Koln for 2 years working in the Fordwerke (incidentally fed Germany trucks through the war and was never bombed!) and since Germans never work weekends I used to take our hire car all over the country and found them to be the most welcoming and friendly people ever.
I was with the 6th MP Co. at NATO Site 111, Muenster/Dieburg, ‘84-‘86. We were neighbors. The site was a munitions factory and storage site (bunkers) during the war but we were using the bunkers to store warheads. It was said that Patton missed the site when they went through that area because it so well concealed. The Germans had tied the tree tops together to cover and hide the roads from aerial observation.
A lot of people do not know this but at the end of the European war, many US service men were given a 30 day pass and sent home on leave in preparation for the planned invasion of Japan. If a US Serviceman had so many points, they could chose to get out of the military, and many did. Those that couldn't, newer solders coming into theater had to of course continue to serve. However, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended the war and I think 90% of all US servicemen left the military within 3 - 6 months of Japan surrendering. I live in Kansas City and here we have a major railroad hub at Union Station very close to downtown Kansas City, Mo. I've talked to several older people over the years and was told that as kids and teens that they very vividly remembering the constant sound of trains blowing their horns coming in and out of Union Station all day and night. One person told me it was strange to them when the horns stopped afther the war ended. I've been told that 90% of all US servicemen who eventually deployed overseas came through Union Station here in Kansas City during WW2.
did you visit The Niederwald monument?
When History Underground uploads you gotta just drop everything and give the new vid a watch!
especially knowing how much BS YT is putting the channel through because they want to pretend history didn't exist
I know what you mean I watch this channel all the time, he is a very intelligent man that does his research very well
For sure!
🙏🏼
Can’t disagree with that!
I visit Munich often as an airline pilot and we stay at the Hilton Munich City which is basically on the site where the beer hall was located. I had seen that plaque many times about Elser, but you helped me get a better understanding of what took place. I have walked that same route many times before I knew that I was walking on historical grounds. You're an excellent teacher of history and I appreciate the time you spend bringing history to life so that we can understand it.
Thanks! That’s the exact hotel that I stayed in.
There is a really good 2015 movie out on the bomb maker Georg Elser called ‘13 Minutes’. It is the best movie on this subject. A small note, you don’t pronounce his name as ‘George’ like in english, but as “Kay-orc’ Elser.
As a map junkie, I love the maps that you have incorporated into your videos. Well done JD!
Thanks! Took a little extra time but I hope that it was worth it.
@@TheHistoryUnderground definitely worth it!
@@TheHistoryUnderground Definitely worth it! I was following along on google maps the entire time. Its amazing how many buildings are blurred. I had no idea about dodger alley. This is the reason I subscribed. It's these little things that no one talks about that are the most important.
But is the spot really the right one? Rosenheimer straße 15, is the next block, right?
But is the spot really the right one? Rosenheimer straße 15, is the next block, right?
As with everything you show on this channel, JD, to quote George Santayana: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”.
Not only are you providing a thoroughly enjoyable series on various points throughout World History, you're also providing a VLog for future generations to learn from and, hopefully, not repeat.
Keep it up mate. Best wishes from the UK.
🙏🏼
One of my favorite quotes thank you 😊
This series is by far the most interesting. I love when people visit lesser-known historical sites.
Thanks!
I was born and raised near Dachau and spent a lot of my life in Munich, but I can tell you that I‘ve never learned anything about that in school or even heard about it otherwise. Awesome work JD, love your videos! I also had no clue you visited my area. Would‘ve been an honor to meet and talk to you!
Man, that really is a shame that you didn't learn anything about this stuff. So many important lessons to learn. Glad that you're enjoying the channel!
@@TheHistoryUnderground this is precisely why the work that you are doing is so very valuable and important. Where the education system has failed us you are there to step in and “fill the gaps.” There is no way to possibly thank you enough.
Yes, you did unless you went to school in the 60s or early 70s. German students are inundated with the German history of WWII. I live in Munich.
@@davidlynch9049 of course you learn certain things about that time in history classes and go to the KZ Dachau once. But not especially the things JD showed in the video. Never been to munich with history class for WWII history.
Shame about the dreadful American accent. “Route” is correctly pronounced “root,” not “rout” as Americans have it.
The “A” in “Adolf” is pronounced as in “rat,” not the American pronunciation as in “cake.”
Nothing annoys me more than Americans mutilating the English 🏴 language.
Great video! I know you probably get tired of talking during these videos but the way you're describing everything and not just reading it to us makes it wish I was there and the video was longer. Thanks!
Thanks! I appreciate that.
Interesting, I didn't know about these particular assassination attempts. Makes you wonder how different things would have been if either had been successful, especially at the beer hall.
Oh man. 13 minutes. That would have completely altered history.
Our entire world history would have changed. We might not even be here if Hitler had been killed. Maybe just the Soviet Union and the Western powers went to war and the nuclear bombs were not dropped on Japan, but on Moscow. Or any combination of world powers at the time.
Hitler survived at least 42 assassination attempts. Churchill was struck by a car while visiting New York City in 1931. FDR was almost assassinated before he took office. Alternative history is both very interesting and very futile.
You're living it now. Those people A.H. tried to warn the masses about, tried to destroy, are still at it, trying to kill billions, so remember to get vaccinated.
I didn't know about this gentlemen he talked about here. Alot of things happened during this that made me think, wow what if? Especially letting him out of jail so early and restoring him being allowed to speak in public. Being so easy on an attempted overthrow of the government. He could have been stopped a few different times and it was just missed. Just a matter of timing could have spared the world alot of misery. At least some people risked it all and tried.
This might be my favorite series of all. and i pretty much binge this channel whenever i have some spare time. awesome work like always.
Thanks! Feel free to share it with a few others.
Wow! Thanks for the virtual tour J. D. We always hear about the assassination plot at the Wolf's Lair in Poland in 1944, but we rarely hear about previous attempts that you explained and covered very well in this video. Thank you for taking the time to address these. May the world never forget the evils of the Third Reich and the sacrifices of the Allied troops to put down this regime!
Very true and well said.
Glad to share the experience and the stories.
Valkyrie is one of my top 20 movies I'm glad they made it. It brought history forward that their were Germans against Hitler and willing to do something about it.
I agree Jd is fantastic at telling and showing History
🙏🏼
Agree!
To think that one man could see the evil in Hitler, plan an assassination, prevent untold thousands of people from being killed, and miss by just a few minutes, is unbelievable-amazing story.
He executed that whole plan by himself too. Pretty remarkable.
Elser was a communist. There are many millions of dead bodies on that particular path.
Another excellent video as usual. I am a history nerd & read all history I can get my hands on. It is so good to see the actual places where history happened. Thank you for taking me to places I won't be able to get to. Your videos & history lessons are always so good so knowledgeable. You never disappoint me. I look forward to the next episode
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you.
Great comment. 👍
So am I and that is how I feel about channels like this. So we can see things we would never have had the chance to otherwise.
I can't get enough of these Historic videos !! thanx JD for another great episode.
👊🏻
Thanks again for the history lesson JD. I remember commenting just a few years ago on one of your earlier videos how you were quickly becoming one of the best presenters of history on you tube. With 350k subscribers and still growing, I consider you along with Eric to be among the most popular and the most dedicated.
🙏🏼
I was never into history when I was in school but now, it’s a whole different story…can’t get enough, thanks to JD’s channel. 🙂
That's awesome! Thanks.
Another great video. As a veteran and history buff, I thoroughly enjoy these videos.
Thanks! Got a lot more on the way.
Thank you for staying firm and doing your own resistance
Gives the "The History Underground" new meaning.
I was stationed in Heilbronn in 85-86 and have been to the exact location you are at . Lots of history around that area. Thanks for showing everyone
Such a beautiful city with such a tragic past. Rising up from the ashes to what it was to what it is now shows the strength of its citizens.👍🙂
I really like the narration of this video. The guy reminds me of a very thoughtful, hardworking midwesterner.
Appreciate that!
I'm Polish and soon I'm going to Munich for a few days. Before I didn't think much about visiting places connected to II World War since these are such painful memories for my nation, but now I think I shouldn't miss an opportunity to see the places where it all started and raise my historical awareness. History is full of horrors but we must learn it in order to prevent the same things from happening in the future. I really liked this video and your approach to these things. You're curious and you don't stay away from difficult topics.
Just left Munich and looking back at photos and we were standing in many of these spots ignorant of the history! Thank you for this video.
👍🏻
I, we, really need this education in this generation.
Glad to see you were able to get the video up, super interesting
Thanks! It’s been a bit of an ordeal. 😅
This channel is better than any TV show. Awesome job yall. With everything!
🙏🏼
I'm serious JD. Between your WWII stuff and your civil war stuff wow. Needs to be shown in public schools. Thank you.
This is such vital facts and info. We need to understand who, what, how and why. These vids give us more understanding into all of that so we hopefully don't repeat history's darker periods and we can recognize the "red flags"
Agreed.
Not trying to be a tin foil hatter, but this WEF stuff is kind of scary along with climate catastrophism. This could lead to mass death due to starvation. The world can’t be fed without fertilizers and fossil fuel based clean water and machinery.
Just amazing how much rich history is in one place.
Very much so.
Man I love your WW2 stuff!!
I go to Munich a lot for work. This video will be my tour guide next time I go.
It’s true that in Munich the history is so palpable. You can just feel it.
Thx for the great content.
Love that city.
Also there is the national socialism museum in Munich it’s free
These Munich videos are some of the best yet. Absolutely amazing stuff.
Glad you like them!
Thank you for having such an awesome channel. I love walking the historical streets of wherever you travel. You do such a great job of narrating the where history happened.
Thank you so much!
I am so glad I found this page, the docuseries you put together are absolutely amazing and in depth. Thank you for all you do.
A really extraordinary video. Some of the many sites I want to see whenever I finally get to travel to Munich. As you said, you do this not to celebrate but to walk in the footsteps of history. It makes it all much more real.
👍🏻
Another fantastic video JD. It's just fantastic to see the effort you put into educating us in history. Thanks for all y'all do. 👍👍👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
The Germans sure do know their bread and pastries. That golden path really was a cool touch. Yet another top notch video from you, I always look your content. God bless.
👍🏻
Love the new episode. I hope you can continue to show history as it was. Never forget what happened in the past and move onwards and upwards.
I can only dream of traveling to those places, would love to see them in person, thank you for bringing them to us, keep up the fantastic work
Like looking at Playboy, and looking at all the places I will never visit.
Bar none this is the best history site on YT. Love your work!
🙏🏼
I definitely need to go back to Germany and see everything again. I am a WWII fanatic. It is by far the most favorite historic event for me to study and learn about. I lived in Germany for about 4-5 years in my early teens and have been all over Munich and have seen those buildings and bridges and had no clue what I was looking at historically. The only thing I can clearly remember that was WWII related was Dachau and stuff in museums. I never got the opportunity to do the battlefields and other hot spots I wanted to go to. But it is shocking as an adult to see how much history I’ve seen and just had no clue where I was. Thanks for this. I love your WWII videos and it’s nice to see Germany again lol. Cheers from Texas 🍻
Amazing place. Loved my time there.
They have beautiful little cities. Hard to imagine the stuff that happened there. I think it is great how well preserved and maintained their buildings are. I admire countries like that. All of that history needs to be preserved. Your videos are fantastic! I thought it was awesome how you showed old videos and photos of each area you went. Amazing how much of it is still identical today. I recently found your channel and I love it. I will be watching all of them now. You do great work. Music is so well fitting to each video and the parts you add it to. Makes the moment hit home.
Ive never commented before but i try to watch all your videos. I go to Munich 2-3 times a year and like you im fascinated by all things WW2. The Nazi history in Munich is second to none. So glad you found Viscardigasse. Not many people know of it. When you go to Dachau check out the camp prison( as if the place itself isnt one!) they have Georg Elsers cell. Anyway great job as always...cant wait to see more from Munchen. I'll be there the end of January
Thanks! Amazing city.
Loving this series. Very informative and perfectly executed. Hurry up with the next installment 😂.
Well, it’s gotta clear the TH-cam restrictions first. 😐
Thank you for showing that not everyone supported Hitler. It’s often overlooked but so important.
Big misconception about Germany in WWII.
I just did this same walking tour through Munich. Thanks for making this video, I watched it a bunch while doing my walk through the city to make sure I was going the right way. The bridge is still under construction and I got a pastry at the same place, figured why not. Thanks again!!
Thanks for this informative & historic video. I'm fascinated by history & greatly appreciate your videos & narration. I'm 70 and still appreciate learning WWII history. My dad was in the Navy in WW II.
Thanks 🙏🏼
My favorite thing to do with this channel is let videos build up and watch them all on … usually on Sundays haha
Thanks JD for posting yet another excellent video from you and for keeping history alive for all generations to see and learn and never forget what happened.
Thank you for sharing
As I see those historical photos and films, I always wonder what became of each one as years passed.
🤗✌️🙏🏆
I hear you.
Love the dodgers golden trail in the brick. I knew there were a bunch of assassination plots and attempts. Didn't know the details of George Elzer. Very cool 👍
Glad you enjoyed! Feel free to share it out. 🙂
I love how you present all of history, warts and all. This march kinda reminds me of January 6, 2021 in DC and sadens me.😔 We must never forget ALL aspects of how we came to where we are or we WILL repeat the mistakes. Thank you.
Thanks. I think that there are some stark difference that should be noted. The Beer Hall Putsch was a more organized grab at overthrowing the government with a militarized force. Jan 6 was a bunch of buffoons who got into the Capitol and then just milled around and pretended that they were important for about 5 minutes.
Great to see this!! I hadn't thought of just WHERE these events happened, nor did I know of the assassination attempts, or that the NAZIs would make this an annual march. So -- this is a perfect example of how we can learn more by watching your videos.
Glad to hear it! Hopefully the channel is proving to be useful.
It is good to see where the evil regime began. May we always remember the sacrifices made to resist the evil and end it.
Absolutely.
This expat says, "Well done!" I could correct a few of your pronunciations, but hey ... you did your homework and that counts for a LOT! I totally agree about Munich (& Berlin, btw!!) being cities that offer massive opportunities to learn about the horrors of the 3rd Reich and WWII. Having lived abroad for nearly 40 years now and with family members who served in WWII who saw & helped investigate the death camps, I have to say that I wish the U.S. worked even half as hard to educate our populace with a clear eye about our own history & the atrocities that the U.S. has sadly commited and instigated throughout history. I never cease to be amazed and humbled at the number of documentaries that Germany and Austria have honestly produced about their own crimes against humanity over the years, and the vast number of museums and former concentration camps dedicated to showing the awful truth of Nazism and that era. Which is as it should be, and FAR more people need to open their eyes to what happened in the 1920s-40s (2023 = one century since some of the historic dates you mention in your video and there are far too many on both sides of the Atlantic who actually look up to those despicable criminals and killers..... So more power to you. Looking forward to the next one (GLAD you're including a trip to Dachau -- so important.)
Thanks! I really do appreciate that. And yeah, I don't claim to be good at much of anything but mispronouncing words is one thing that I do exceptionally well. :)
13 minutes that could’ve saved millions of lives. Unbelievable
The understanding of the next generation begins with those like you. It is your duty to continue.
👍🏻
The golden path really got to me. Great work, JD.
I have read about most of the assassination attempts on Hitler. It was great to see video of several of these. Hitler liked to change the times and routes of his plans for safety. He felt more emboldened and divine with every attempt he survived. He really was very lucky to survive, as there were many plots against him. Great video showing the locations and the march. The one memorial is called the immortals or something like that.
He certainly had the luck of the devil. Glad that you enjoyed it!
I have always been perplexed at how evil ppl manage to escape what they deserve and live to be ripe old ages but yet so many good ppl have been taken out in the prime of their lives. A prime example of that will be the man’s life that we will celebrate tomorrow, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
@@SoCal780 seems a lot of viewers are not aware who MLK is since they are not from the US.
I’m looking forward to your video on Dachau! I visited in 2019, and trying to explain to people the range of emotions I was feeling and how impactful it was to be there is so hard to put in words.
Thank you for all that you do! I’ve learned so much from your videos and I appreciate all the work you put into this! ❤
I know a lot about München putsch, funeral and commemorations to putschist at Feldherrnhalle on Odeon Platz and later builded Ehrentempels on Königsplatz, Blutfahne, but I didn't know for that 1939 bombing, always learning something new. Glad you menaged to come to Germany, bet it was interesting to you to be all of that historical places.
Thanks! Loved my time there.
Very interesting getting to see these places.Thank you.I wish you would have been our history teacher in school 👍❤️🇺🇸
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great stuff dude! Your knowledge of history is fantastic! You travel to the most iconic places all over this globe with valuable WWII info. And I would especially like to thank you personally for doing this, and for all the other WWII history lovers that don’t have the financial means to visit such historic places.
Thank you so much for doing this! With this year (2023) being the 100th anniversary of the "Beer Hall Putsch", I was wondering what kind of "acknowledgment" was going to be done about it. Nice to know the actual "beer hall" is gone (as the neo-Nazis would have used it as a "rallying point"), and that an appropriate memorial is there for one of Hitler's many attempted assassins! Another excellently done video!
Glad to share the experience.
Excellent documentation of history, fascinating. You're a true talent
Thank you very much!
Classsic statement by JD, “pretty dang good” speaking my language!
Ha!
@@TheHistoryUnderground I’m from Kansas so your videos are very satisfying to watch, same lingo.
I was in Munich in 1974
On a high school trip. I had no idea, and our young German guides weren’t about to tell us about any of this.
I got to visit Munich in 2014 and got to see some of what was in this video. I don't know about you, but I got a really eerie feeling knowing what happened there.
Thank you for this video. I'm in Munich now and you're literally my tour guide! Keep it up! Check out Dachau. Goosebumps the whole time!
Awesome! The Dachau videos will be coming up in a few weeks.
Great video and thank you so much for doing it. I found the path of the march interesting. Conquering factions throughout history have always chosen their public marching displays carefully. Such as crossing bridges or going through the ancient, medieval entry way (the Nazis did this when they took over Paris), taking a route in front of prominent buildings that represent power and control. The psychological message is very loud and should stand as a reminder of what to look for in groups that look to dominate and/or control a society (in my humble opinion). Actions are very deliberate.
Definitely.
Hard to believe in November of this year it'll be 100 years since the Beer Hall Putsch occured. I'm old enough that when I think 100 years ago the first thing that comes to mind is the Civil War! Time sure does move on and waits for no-one!
Thanks for the tour!
I know nothing about history in Germany. Thanks for the video!
👍🏻
When I moved to Germany, Munich was the first big trip we took and we ended up at the Odeonsplaz while trying to find the palace (right next door). While my kids were climbing over the lions and taking pictures. I looked up the history of that square. I was shocked to realize where we were standing, and I took a moment to spit on the spot Hitler was standing in on the picture. Just a crazy history there!
History everywhere you turn.
Thnx for another awesome video JD, really like it to see all these places of history with your comments below it. Curious what to see next. Greetings from Holland🇳🇱
Thanks! Got a lot more on the way. 🙂
Dude, super impressed. That was awesome. I liked and subscribed. One of the best channels on TH-cam
Wow, thanks!
Thank you J.D.! I love the then and now pictures as you tell the history. ❤️🙋♂️🏍💨
So much better than the history channel! Thanks again JD
Thanks!
This is fascinating. Representative government, market economies and trade have produced peace and prosperity on historic levels. These videos are documenting the places where an evil movement (fascism) almost derailed that progress. Well done!
I'm glad to know someone fought back.
Definitely.
You never fail to deliver JD thank you.
👍🏻
JD you always knock these vids out of the park!! Great work and can’t wait for this entire series of your trip. I hope you can get the TH-cam thing figured out about the demoniting the vids
Thanks! Appreciate that.
The topping of an awesome Sunday morning bacon,eggs,toast and a hot cup of “Joe” and then this to dive into to put the finale touch on a great morning. Thanks for a great start of my Sunday JD, great content as always
Jd's apple strudel would have gone well with your breakfast 👀
👍🏻
@@timf2279 true dat!
I lived in Munich in the mid to late 50's. Unfortunately, being born in 51, I recall little to nothing of the city.
Glad that I could show a bit of it. 🙂
It really is astounding to think about "13 Minutes" was the difference between a blip in history versus what we now know as the unbelievable madness/tragedy of WWII. 13 minutes..wow.
Welcome to Germany. I am from Berlin and some original Nazi-Buildings here are used by the German government. The Olympic Stadium of 1936 and the area around it is a must see (and now home ground of a professional, not very successful ;) football team). But you don't need to look for the Führerbunker - It doesn't exist anymore and is a parking lot of a supermarket now. The same with the Sportpalast, where Goebbels gave his famous speech ("Do you want the total war?!"). OK, have good time in Germany, I am looking forward to your videos. (Loved your Gettysburg-Series)
Thank you! I thoroughly enjoyed my time in your country. Would love to visit Berlin one day too.
The reason I'm interested in the history of WWII is because my father's father and my mother's father both fought for the US Army from 1942 through 1945. They were also among those who liberated areas and the concentration camps. My eldest brother was stationed in Frankfurt, Germany, from 1985 to 1989. My niece was born in Hamburg, Germany at the University Hospital in July 1989, She was 2 months early. My y brother, his wife and only daughter, moved back to the States after getting my niece her birth certificate, Vias and Passport, that November. He retired from active duty with the US Army in 1999. He got to visit all the places both of our grandfathers fought plus visited a good many of the concentration camps while he was on military tour in Germany. The concentration camps were the toughest for him to handle because, in his words, "you can still feel the sad energy of those who were imprisoned and died in those places."
Thank you for sharing your family history.
Thanks for sharing that.
Really enjoy watching your videos it's hard to believe that was a 100 years ago thanks for posting it
Was good to see the Feldernhalle again in the context of putting down the putsch. I first saw that site in '79 as a young US sailor touring Munich
Your channel is what we all wished was what the history channel would play! Not the crap they play most of the time
Thanks for teaching history without revision or political correctness. We are not teaching history here in America. So many may well be doomed to repeated the tragic mistakes of the past!
👍🏻
Good stuff. As I said I was stationed near here. It is amazing how the ambiance (as I remember it) of an European city and specifically a German European city comes through on the film.
Thanks! Love that place.
Great Job JD! I'm always learning something new with you! Thank you for all you do!
Thanks so much for this particular series it has great interest to me. I appreciate seeing the "Golden Bricks" pathway and knowing there were people then who found ways to protest the Nazi regime. Looking forward to more!
That location of the Beer Hall Putsch, is known as the Gasteig. It's a Volkshochschule, a municipal library, and houses the Munich Philharmonic.
Kellerstraße down one side of the location gives a little reminder.
This is your best work on display. Thank you. I learned a few new facts. I was compelled to deep thought and application of the lessons of this history. Never again! National Sozialismus -- let us never forget the unspeakable evils it visited upon this earth.
Much to be learned.
So much history in Munich! Definitely anxious for the next stop on your journey. JD, I have been watching your videos since the beginning. Your videos are the best. I have a few friends and family hooked on your videos.
Timing is everything
You are in my 'backyard' now. I'm an expat who moved here in '95 (for love, not the weather). As usual, your tours and commentary added something I hadn't before (even in my native state of Missouri.) I hope you have a chance to taste more of the culinary delights here (not just the apple pastries-which, true, are delicious) and if you imbibe, also the truly other-worldly beers brewed in and around Munich.
Loved my time there. And yes, I got to eat a few more things than the apple pastries. :)
Just shows how we are in constant risk of history repeating itself.
And I LOVE those golden bricks in the alley.
