Tight


Munich, Germany, 1949. Here's my friend Ron with his Mom at the Displaced Persons camp.

Thanks to my friend Ron for making this photo available to us.

Fascinating.

It takes something like the phrase "Displaced Persons" to bring home just how massive an upheaval the World Wars really were.

That was a common phrase when I was a kid and even in "Thunderball" (1965), SPECTRE's front was a charity for them.

Luckily, the break up of the Warsaw Bloc didn't cause something similar.
