We have found a number of photographs which we believe show German children on the home front during World war II. We often have no information about these images. They are still interesting and perhaps readers will be able to offer some insights.
We know nothing about this photograph other than it was taken in Germany. We believe it was taken during the 1940s war years. The boy is clearly diturbed about something, but we di not know what. We can think of many things that could have affected a boy during the War, but we have no idea what may have ocurred here. A reader writes, "This is an interesting and problematic photo. It looks as though the boy is wearing knee socks with ankle socks on top. I've never seen this combination before, have you?" HBC has seen Scouts after the War dressed like this, but never a boy in a formal suit as we see here.
