Thank you for visiting my blog. I love the old photos,history lives on in pictures. For the past three years I immersed myself in studying the period of the thirties and forties, a very unique time in world history.
I believe that’s why so many people are still interested in it; the king of an era that shall never be seen again.
I totally agree, quite fascinating. A time when community actually mattered.
I’m new to your blog, drawn because you like mine, “In search of unusual destinations”. Just to say: this blog, for a UK citizen who was born following WW2, is itself a most unusual destination – but one I shall return to. You have amassed some remarkable material. All good wishes for the future. Phil.
I thank you for your comments and for reading. Like you, I know only what I was taught in school about the war in Europe, until I began reading other blogs and looking into some of the events. Ditto on the good wishes.
Ronald Reagan advertising for Chesterfields… I magnified the Greyhound ad; the message indicated it had to be in ’45. A glimpse into a far different reality. Thanks.
I seemed to have hit a chord in a lot of people with this post – and have to admit, it is one of my favorites.
