Mannheim, Germany: First Stop, April, 1945

There are just a couple of photographs from April, 1945. The war ended in Europe that month with the Germans surrendering.

Mannheim: The first stop in Germany

The wall says: "We will conquer!"

The images convey the conditions of the local area. Unfortunately, they are the only thing that we can use to understand what it was like, as there aren't any letters recovered from this time (if there were any letters sent during this time).
