Unidentified German Primary School (1947)

Figure 1.-- Here is another unidentified village school in 1947. All we know about this class photo is that it was taken in Germany in 1947. We do not know the name of the school or where it was located. The children look to be various ages and not a class group, but we are not sure that this was the entire school, most village schools were larger than this, even in small villages.

Here is another unidentified village school in 1947. All we know about this class photo is that it was taken in Germany in 1947. We do not know the name of the school or where it was located. The children look to be various ages and not a class group, but we are not sure that this was the entire school, most village schools were larger than this, even in small villages. The girls wear dresses, some with pinafores. The boys wear short pants, some with halters and straps. There seem to be more girls than boys foprvsome reasons. . The most notable aspect of this photograph is all the children are barefoot. Many school photographs at the time show some of the children barefoot All of the children barefoot is less common. This is a reflection on the very difficult conditions in Germany following the War. Another factor was probably the weather. It looks like a warm day. Probably most of these children had shoes, but did their parents wanted to save them for winter wear.
