A nice Der Spiegel article, published recently on the occasion of 75 years afterthe Germany 's surrender:https://www.spiegel.de/consent-a-?targetUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.spiegel.de%2Finternational%2Fgermany%2Fthe-summer-of-liberation-germans-reflect-on-the-allies-arrival-in-europe-in-1945-a-202d5000-6446-4950-bf06-0fc0cf21801f.

Very interesting.<br /><br />I am extremely envious of your Deighton bookshelves.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.com
