This is such an intriguing series of images you are delivering us. Thanks so much for sharing such personal memorabilia. I guess these really display the negative connotations of the term: 'spoils of war'.
One doesn't really think a great deal about the clean up that takes place after a war. If you've never seen one firsthand, then you don't really understand the implications of the before and after. Films only really focus on the during so you don't get an appreciation for everything else that happens as a result of one.
Very true! A shame too because I bet you a lot of stuff that was just junked after the war would be worth big bucks today! But there are still always finding interesting stuff.l, like these pictures :)
