During last year’s war in Lebanon between Hezbollah and Israel,
excellent Google Earth news site http://www.ogleearth.com/2006/07/lebanon_update.html Ogle
Earth mentioned that Google would “soon” be updating the images
of Lebanon, but were keen to stress that this was not side-taking
on the controversial conflict.

However, for some reason these images did not appear in Google
Earth and Lebanon appeared as pre-conflict up until the most recent
image update
just a few days ago. Google Maps has not yet received the same
image update, so until it does we can use the two sources to
compare areas before and after.

If you zoom in on the runways you’ll also see that they’re
busying repairing bomb craters:

The full story of the conflict is, of course, on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Lebanon_War Wikipedia.

Look closely at http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/download.php?Number=905048&t=h&om=1&ie=UTF8&z=19
Barton Aerodrome and you’ll see 1940s army cars, oildrums, an
anti-aircraft gun and a Nazi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fieseler_Fi_156 Fieseler
Storch aeroplane. The Nazis have invaded!

Luckily, this is actually the film set for 2004 Period drama http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401019/ Island at War,
which told the stories of fictional families living under the Nazi
occupation of the Channel islands during World War II.
