Figure 1.--Here we see a Germany family in 1947. The photograph was taken in Germany, but we do not know where. The boy looks to be about 8-9 years old.

H-bar pants were worn in the 1940s. We see boys in a number of countries wearing H-bar pants, especially short pants. They seem to have been especially common in Germany and neighboring central European countries, but we see them in other countries as well. We notice a very young Swedish boy wearing H-bar shorts in 1942. Gerally speaking, H-bar pants were not very common in Sweden. We note a lot of boys at a school in occupied Poland during World War II wearing H-bar shorts. These seem to be German boys and Polish boys under going Germininaztion in NAZI controlled schools. We note a German boy and his mother. We are not sure of the date, but we believe the portrait was taken in the early 1940s. Here we see a Germany family in 1947 (figure 1). The photograph was taken in Germany, but we do not know where. The boy looks to be about 8-9 years old.
