What exactly happened in Cologne in 1927? I can't seem to find anything on it.

I think the first photo just serves as a comparison. He first sees Cologne as it was, a normal, beautiful city. And then he sees a picture of it after the bombs in '45, seeing how much devastation they caused.

Yes, basically Cologne in '27 is the world before World War Two, the bombs in '45 are the result of World War Two, and how much things can change in just 18 years.

Thanks I actually figured that out not too long after posting the comment haha thanks!
