Birkenkopf
The hard way to create a recreational Acropolis. Cart all the rubble left by war time destruction and dump it in one place. (The mountain did already exist, it was just 'recapped'.) - The quoted number of missions is meaningless. Damage before summer 1943 will have been minimal.  Exponential growth is a fact of life.

No daytime silver crescent. Shoulder riding familiars always enhance the general impression.

Metope shape. Round cookies are usually called medallions. Sizewise probably a wall decoration rather than a frieze ornament.

Alliaria petiolata and Geranium pusillum
Garlic Mustard (white) and Small flowered Cranesbill (mauve). 'Pusillum' is related with 'pupil' (both meanings), 'pullet', 'pollo', 'puppy' and 'foal'. Any small sized farm yard animal will do. 'Paula, Paulus', the lesser born, younger offspring. The neo Latin word for rear view mirror should be  'pauloratum' something. The instrument which makes everything look small.
