Apologies if posted before.

"Nazi" ambassadors dog memorial.

OK - not clear if the dog or or ambassador were committed Nazis but this was the old German embassy in London during the Nazi years and representing an outfit which flew the Swastika pretty much on The Mall must have been a bit, er, "interesting".

9 Carlton House Terrace.

“Giro”

A faithful companion!

London in February 1934.

Hoesch.

Dog died by chewing through an electrical cable apparently.

De Gaulle, London.

Questionable bod, but there you go.

(not too far from the Nazi dog as it happens - but that's London for you - lots of stuff to stop for and check out if you are lucky enough to be on a bike rather than trapped in a metal box)
