Angel of Peace
My Dad took this photo in 1946. He was part of the Army of Occupation (Germany) which officially began May 5, 1945 and spent almost two years in southwest Germany. On the back of the picture is written:
"Angel of Peace - can't you see this in Germany."
It must have been with some sense of irony to find anything still standing [see last post "No Pot to Pee In"] little lone a statue titled "Angle of Peace". Dad states he does not remember exactly where this statue was located, but his hand written note still strikes a cord on the strings of history. Does anyone know the location of this statue if it still exist? There is a single individual sitting at the base...I wonder if he is thinking is peace really here.
