On 31 August, the eve of International Anti-War Day, the Kilian Memorial Association opened its new exhibition "An anti-aircraft helper from Kiel - photos and memories of Hans Krohn". In 1944, at the age of 15, Hans Krohn was also drafted into the navy in Kiel and stationed at the Nordmarksportfeld in the anti-aircraft battery.

But the approaching hurricane worried the organisers and the concert was cancelled. And now, finally, it really was a wonderful evening. The 700 or so guests only had to endure a few drops of rain.
