Though she was not very much sure about the above picture, she knew exactly who was in this one. This picture featured her grandfather. Clearly, her grandfather is riding a motorcycle. The photo had an amusing composition. Her grandfather was riding a bike and had a pasture full of many cows behind him. The picture itself tells the kind of person her grandfather used to be.

Then came the picture of children who formed a part of the Hitler Youth movement. These boys must have witnessed those horrifying incidents occurred during Nazi rule that makes us shudder even today. In those times, it was compulsory for children to admit to the Hitler Youth movement.

Well, this adorable postcard came from 1916. What makes this postcard special is its front picture that shows an army officer kissing his bride farewell minutes before parting from her in order to travel off to rejoin his duty. Apparently, this too is connected with the war.

Now this one came into existence in 1941 and has a stamp of Nazi government on it. People living in Germany were kept under 24 hours of scrutiny by the Nazi government. This stamp was not only for mail process but was also used as a reminder to the people that they are being watched by the government.
