Focus on the cities look like when the 2nd World War had taken place yesterday. With a transport aircraft of the Bundeswehr flew a team of slow motion in the disaster area of western Sicily - days after the horrors of the earthquake, the first material and reached the population severely affected donations. The Earth ripped open, whole villages to scree and rubble collapsed: the Poorhouse of Italy reflected bleak and deserted.
Late - too late, as the population complains - comes to the aid of the Government, are looking for teams with French special equipment for the survivors of a terrible night. In the dark to set the search: lack of headlamps.
A resident reported what happened, when arrived at 3 o'clock early severe tremor: "original sound - Italian"
"We came out all, my husband, my three children and I. But not all succeeded. When we turned around, the House fell together."
It has so far pulled out 200 dead under the rubble. Thunder and lightning and rain turned into a mud-landscape whole tracts of land. Epidemics is threatening. The workers protect themselves with disinfectants.
Few overcome their fear and go back for hours in the villages. Most fled in Quake-free places where the army distributed food.
It hit hardest the people in Montevago, and at the same time it hit the poorest: 70% of the male population drove the permanent care of the bread the stranger years ago. Of the old, the women and children, who survived the quake, takes refuge on the country roads. Under tents and trucks camp they still threatened by hunger and cold and waiting for help from outside.
80,000 Sicilians are homeless. 35,000 lost their entire belongings. In the totally destroyed villages cemetery quiet will reign forever.

These images moments in 1962 among the most moving scenes of the year. Konrad Adenauer and Charles de Gaulle, the "Treaty of the german French cooperation" with a brother Kiss sealed at that time five years ago.
A joint military parade on the historic battlefield of Mourmelon decided the Grand Reconciliation Act - after centuries of neighbour feuds.
To date, the Treaty has proved to be basis of german French cooperation. Regular consultations and joint Cabinet meetings, each side has learned to live with the strengths and weaknesses of the other.
The Foreign Ministry was the most prominent visitors of the week with mixed feelings. His German colleagues England Foreign Secretary George Brown sought advice on the issue of British membership of the EEC. Prime Minister Wilson shuns the third veto from Paris.
Reluctantly gave England's outdoor-chef go-ahead for Willy Brandt, who an interim solution for England near the General in Paris - will bring. The admired world star brought the ingenious spouse: Liz Taylor and Richard Burton received the Bambi award as the most popular foreign film actor of the year.
Bavaria's Minister of agriculture Hundhammer presented the awards in Munich. Senta Berger had imagined more easily their first Bambi.
The male audience favorite will have concern, that Pack to put deer: Heinz Rühmann was awarded the Bambi for the 6th time.
The tanks of the largest oil refinery in Europe in Rotterdam were burned for two days. Then the world company moved the balance sheet: for DM 110 million damage, 80 injured, 2 dead. 8,000 windowpanes fragmented as a high pressure pump broke and sparked the Inferno.
When the 130-meter-high flames fell together after a day, hundreds of people were out of work: the refinery is shut down for half a year.

Increased requirements in the winter after the dream boat for a hot summer.
"A kind of pirate." A sailing yacht. A large cabin cruiser. A sailboat, a small. A popular boat. If I would buy a dinghy, I would buy a shell and build yourself so that."
Seen on the international boat show in Hamburg: cheap boats for young people. Here a selection: coral - a small boat made of fibreglass with wood paneling at the price of some 1,800. Suitable for transportation on any car roof; Page keels in the Interior create space for 3 or 4 persons.
Twig - the boat that fits into any trunk. It will cost about 550 mark, is water ready in 15 minutes and can be equipped with engines up to 10 HP.
One of the smallest but viable boats - the Sportyak. It is pressed from plastic, weighs only 19 kg, can be loaded but with 6 Hundredweights. Price: approx. 300 marks without accessories.
Easy to assemble - pop-cat, a plastic yacht for about 1,000 mark.
A sensation: Flying disc, the first German hovercraft for about 5,000 German marks. For the boat of their choice young visitors want to create surprisingly much.
"Och, not too expensive, ' a small dinghy would me enough." Like 5.000. Oh, 5,000 mark, no, 5,000 mark. Up to 20,000. And what type? We're still looking, we have no specific ideas."
