Has your university created a central student services “hub” after sacking department-based admin & services staff in a restructure? If so, post a pic below. 👇

1/3—April 1945: Soviet tanks roll through Berlin, but it’s the graffiti on the wall of the grocery store in the background that makes this picture really interesting.
![Two people look out from inside a military tank as it rolls past a low building labelled “Kaffee / Wilhelm [not visible] / Butter”. Smoke lingers in the air. The street is muddy.

There is a long row of residential apartment buildings in the far background.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vcynltzmbyjg6wdxvtn4cs3a/bafkreic6h7pgkxlxk6lc4mg7zm4eax5hzyksvzgnij5u6glg2oierwb6xu@jpeg)
