Skytrain Lorraine is called Lothringen where I live.......

During the WWII Alsatian and Lorraine people were sent to East front as German soldiers, but other French worked in Germany (those who had been ordered here) as Fremdarbeiter (Foreign Workers), building e.g. the flak towers in Berlin, one of which I used to see from my office window. It is still there, too solid to be blown away. Below it is an old DDR nuke proof bunker, open for public.
