APRIL 9, 2014, MOD CAFE: 1944-- September 3, 1943 "U.S.O. canteen, Penn station, Harrisburg, Pa. Serving bar. Travelers Aid and Pennsylvania Railroad." Photo by Gottscho-Schleisner. An ultra modern place. Wonder if they served alcohol?
APRIL 8, 2014, BFF: 1938-- 1938, Stuttgart, Germany. "Hitler Youth in tent during festivities for the 6th National Days of Foreign Germans." Photo by Heinrich Hoffmann.
Comments: membership was mandatory for all boys. The two in the front belong to Hitlerjugend. The ones in the back belong to Deuschesjungvolk. Hitler Youth led to German soldiers.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
