It's a bunker hotel. Very common in Germany after WWII. |

Those trousers on Harry Highpants are anything but square, a trendsetter with the socks and sandals too! |

i have always wondered why people make fun of socks and sandals on Germans. Germany in it's entirety would be in Canada. It gets cold there people. Germany is literally NORTH of the Alps, as in north of Switzerland, north of Austria. Several countries north of Germany touch the arctic circle...
I myself do not wear sandals at all. more of a birkenstock man.

^ think there's been some photo montage work with this one! I thought it was us brits who were laughed at for wearing socks (black in stark contrast to white legs) with sandals when on holiday

It's not production it's repairs. caption is Mechanics from Raffay Co. repairing several VW Beetles.
Photo: Hermann Tiede, August 15, 1950
Raffay & co were based in hamburg
