[edit] Re: forced labour

It is, of course, thanks to the fact that there was forced labour in Goslar during World War II that Goslar was not bombed and has therefore retained a lot of its historic buildings. Hikitsurisan 21:27, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Medieval

"Being a mediæval town...."

The accepted modern English spelling is medieval, not "mediæval."

It's not a medieval town now — it was founded during the Middle Ages.

Re the rather petulant comment above, I don't believe the Allies would have bothered with bombing a small resort town in the Harz Mtns. The British in particular, single-mindedly led by "Bomber Harris," were more interested in causing civilian casualties in the tens of thousands on each raid, and preferred to attack large population centers.
