Gundel (dark hair) with brothers and sisters, probably about 1930.

Else and Anni, with Else's husband and others, including their cousin Paula.
Fortunately Gundel added the names on the back.

Anni and her husband, Kristl (Christian) Bauer, late 30s. Anni spent a year and a half in jail for handing out anti-Hitler leaflets, and Kristl spent six years in jail for "communist activity"; on release he was drafted in an army regiment, 999, made up of dissidents and decadents; we are uncertain what happened before he was killed in Yugoslavia.

Else and Paul about 1938, in the little garden across the road from Oma's home and grocery shop.

"Als ich bei die Nonnen war" - Gundel, aged about 14, is on the far right. She tells of wanting to do sewing-related work, but her father decided she should learn typing instead.

Oma with Alfred and Paul in Gersfeld, early 1930s.

Alfred as a teenager. This was found in an album of tiny photos - "Tebe" Klein-Photothek - the first page is dated 1935. Other photos show cars, gliders, mountain scenery, winter sports, young people larking about. Alfred has noted: "Aufgenommen mit Zeiss-Ikon Baby Box". His address in Gersfeld (Rhoen) is given as Karlstrasse 96.
