Peter Bialobrzeski – Linz Diary
Peter Bialobrzeski visits Linz, Austria. It was a provincial and local government city of the Holy Roman Empire, and an important trading point connecting several routes, on either side of the river Danube from the east to the west and Bohemia and Poland from north to the Balkans and Italy to the south. Hitler considered Linz to be his hometown. Linz Diary was shot between 18th and the 29th 2017 and is the 14th instalment in the City Diary series.
