What's interesting to me is the police uniforms/jackets. They are very similar to the uniforms the Germans wore during the war. It makes one wonder if they were war surplus and the police used them. Or, if these were ex soldiers who still had them and used them. _________________ Contact me at [email protected]

Yes, they were army surplus. There was no money for new uniforms after the war. |

That's a good one!
I wonder if the front sedan and third bus are red--I noticed the black wheels and suspect they're destined for fire departments somewhere...... _________________ 1956 Standard Sedan |
