Wacker Drive is a major multilevel street in Chicago, Illinois, running along the south side of the main branch and the east side of the south branch of the Chicago River in the Loop.[2] The vast majority of the street is double-decked; the upper level is intended for local traffic, and the lower level for through traffic and trucks serving buildings on the road (and originally a dock). It is sometimes cited as a precursor to the modern freeway, though when it was built the idea was that pleasure vehicles would use the upper level. It is the only street in the city that is prefixed with all four cardinal directions, albeit on different parts of its route.[a] The drive is named for early 20th century Chicago businessman and city planner Charles H. Wacker. The upper level is normally known as Upper Wacker Drive, and the lower level is Lower Wacker Drive. A short part has a third level, sometimes called Lower Lower Wacker Drive[3] or Sub Lower Wacker Drive.

World War II was the largest and most devastating conflict in human history, causing untold destruction all across the world as well as massive political and cultural change. To this day there are many markers, remnants or reminders of this devastating war in countries across the world. One need not go that far off the coast of England in order to see what World War II has left behind in the UK. For example, there exists many sea forts, called the Maunsell Sea Forts, which were built to defend British sovereignty against the relentless German bombings throughout the early 1940s. And while the Sea Forts accomplished their goal, proving to be a valuable defense against German planes, their story extends far beyond WWII and even their military service, as after the war these forts became the sites for pirate radio stations, planned explosions and even an independent nation. Follow the link to download the game and get your exclusive bonus now. See you in battle! The Maunsell Forts are armed towers built in the Thames and Mersey estuaries during the Second World War to help defend the United Kingdom. They were operated as army and navy forts, and named after their designer, Guy Maunsell.[1] The forts were decommissioned in the late 1950s and later used for other activities including pirate radio broadcasting. One of the forts is managed by the unrecognised Principality of Sealand;[2] boats visit the remaining forts occasionally, and a consortium called Project Redsands is planning to conserve the fort situated at Red Sands.
