The dictator’s name vanishes: napalm against the letter “R”

Berat, the army engineers against the colossal slogan BERAT - “A colossal area of 1.4 hectares, giant letters of almost unimaginable dimensions: each 140 metres long, 65 metres wide and eight metres thick”—this is the sight that met the military engineers’ eyes when they climbed the face of Shpirag. The latest arrival of “the grandeur of grandness” appeared before them. Now the question was how the enormous letters would be destroyed. A correspondent of the official Albanian news agency ATSH is precisely the source reporting the imposing dimensions of “Për-ver” and the work being carried out by the engineers on the giant letters. Explosives were used at first, but without result, since they merely left the letters battered. Later, napalm was considered, and that worked. The letters began to fade little by little until they disappeared from the face of Shpirag. It is now learned that the “battle” between the determined fighters and the stone letters has reached its final stage. Only one letter remains from the former word: “R”. After that, it is said, what remains corresponds to the letter “R”. After this, another section is expected to be removed; this has been the case ever since 1971, when the colossal slogan was erected. p.re. Berati
