Moving on in the series on the Great Sturmflut of 2023, which is approaching three weekends ago since the disaster happened, we have a much detailed version of the storm that happened from start to finish and including the aftermath of the storm. Birger Herzog, who runs a facebook page devoted to this topic, compiled photos, film footage and even some dronage of the areas affected before and after the storm, focusing on the hardest hit areas from Flensburg to Eckernförde, including the areas around Gelting Birk, Kappeln and the Schlei. The 76-minute long film goes much deeper into the coverage than what was presented in an NDR documentary and provides viewers with an insight of what happened- how a tourist region like the Baltic Sea coast in Schleswig-Holstein became an Acapulco that is rebuilding. The Mexican city was devastated by Hurricane Otis on October 25th, just days after this event.

Regardless of videos and photos, there will surely be many lessons learned from the Sturmflut that we have to take with as we rebuild, a process that will take years to complete, judging by the massive destruction we have seen from coast to coast.
