Figure 1.--Here we see Friederich in the 1920s. His hair is worn longer than it would have in the previous decades, in his case cut in bangs. He wears a white shirt with a shiller collar and button-on short pants. He has heavy high-top shoes. Drawing by Birte Koch.

Friedrich was the youngest boy. Here we see Friederich in the 1920s. He is not yet old enough to school, even Kingdergarten. I don't think nursery schools were common at the time. His hair is worn longer than it would have in the previous decades, in his case cut in bangs. He wears a white shirt with a shiller collar and button-on short pants. He wears short white socks, but probably wore long stockings when the weather got cooler. He has heavy high-top shoes.

Friedrich wears a white shirt with a Schiller collar. The Schiller collar was a very popular style in the 1920s for boys of all ages--but not for adults. He has button-on short pants. There were buttons at the waist that fit into button wholes at the hem of the shorts. Short pants might still be quite long in the 1920s, but note they do not have the ornamental buttons at the leg hem. He wears short white socks, but probably wore long stockings when the weather got cooler. He has heavy high-top shoes. These would have been worn
