You, a peasant, go to the beach and make sand castles.

Me, a man with humanitas, makes a sand Roman playing-card fort, with fossa et agger.

There's a beach in Navarre Florida which had an impeccable miniature replication of a late 1917 German defensive network.

That's what happened last time I was at the beach and my son and his cousin were digging and the dads and uncles started to help

Some colonel from the former GDR forces toldnthe SPIEGEL once that He described where place at the beach would be so that He could be contacted in Case of Verteidigungsfall. His jaw fell quite deep after reunification when he heard that West German baracks were nearly empty on weekends.
