I'm in Croatia with Eelco and visit abandoned military relics throughout the country.
Our first stop is the island Lastovo, a former military island which was forbidden for tourists for 50 years. On this island you can find an abandoned submarine and ship shelters, bunkers with guns, fuel bunkers, ammunition bunkers, military bases and much more.

The text on 29:08 : "Without you in front of us, with you in our minds"

[@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath]

O shit.. I thought Google Translate would be better in 2022

[@CavicBronx]

@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath Maybe you typed it wrong, I think this is the text on the wall: "Bez tebe pred nama, s tobom u nama". Which literarily translates to "Without you in front of us, with you in us" (Google Translate), but with adding some slang and changing the word meaning, it can be translated as I wrote above to be more accurate on English. :)
