Berlin is full of these little scars if you know what to look for. Bullet pockmarks, shrapnel damage, patched stone next to original — it’s wild how the city just lives with its history instead of erasing it.

There’s WW2 damage visible across most major cities in Western Europe.

I mean they deliberately leave these in as a kind of memorial

There is a London Bridge in Arizona full of ammo holes.

Take a walk around Dresden. They still have portions of destroyed buildings on display in public. Compare that to the architectural beauty of Weisbaden which was spared allied bombing due to overcast weather.

There’s a few rail viaducts in Berlin where you can see holes made by shells that went straight through several inches of steel. [This](https://digitalcosmonaut.com/the-bridge-of-scars/) article has some good pics

Same in many European cities. V&A museum in London is a good example.

WW2 damage is still visible all over the place in Europe, sometimes intentionally, sometimes not. One place in Kraków that comes to mind is a small building on Rzemieślnicza street that still has some bullet marks on it. https://maps.app.goo.gl/ncHUC8FBpdJguY7z8
