So, some background from a German to give you an idea:
“Ramma Damma” is an expression in Bavarian Dialect which means “We are now tidying up!” and became popular sometime after WW2 when there was a lot of broken down stuff (whole cities being bombed to stone heaps) to move away and build something new out of it.
The disc cover is from a single released in 1975 by a band of the same name and probably is as cringy as it looks :-)
i havent really thought much about the massive cultural and societal coordination and effort required to clean up a bombed out town
Ramma Damma feels like the tip of an iceburg - do you have any references (ideally translated to english, but ill try to make due if in their native language) of how a town/region dealt with the destruction and infrastructure reset?
Like theres the vivid memory of first hand death and destruction to process, and likely the absence of many able bodied people whod traditionally lead the cleanup but were lost in the war itself, but then theres a collosal amount of work ahead to return to s steady state, and all the idealic potential of how to improve things once theres a blank slate, and the realities of how to reuse/recover resources like stones and pipes and such
It seems such an intense era just thinking shallowly about it, and id like to understand more what that it was like, the problems that arose and how they resolved, and how it got organized
