Two years after the Nazi government fell, the U.S. Army relaxed its Occupation rules and officially allowed soldiers and civilians to mingle (which they had been doing any way), These German kids were watching their bigger brothers learn how to play baseball while they "occupied" a soldier's Jeep.

Good image, Richard.
I especially like that you took a low perspective on this one, elevating even more the kids' surmounting of the jeep.

Thank you, Richard. It has been buried in an album for 69 years!
