In the garden in Gersfeld, 1949 - Anni with Margaret, who was in a cast to correct congenital hip dysplasia, which had been discovered when she started walking.

Oma with Else and Anni, about 1919 perhaps?

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.

Oma's family at home, around Christmas-time in the early 1940s - Anni, Oma, Paul, Else.

Oma and her children, early 1945 - Else, Paul, Oma (Greta), Alfred, Anni.

One version of the origins of this photo is that Paul got a week's leave (from the army) because his brother, reported missing after his brigade was captured, had returned home, having made his way back to Gersfeld from Poland after being captured on the Russian frontier. The journey home was quite a story, and Alfred spoke of it only in recent years. When she got the telegram saying "your son is missing in action", Oma emphatically said she knew he was on his way back - and some weeks later he came through the door.

Gundel, Oma, Anni, Alfred, about 1950. Could this photo have been taken at Anni's, before the departure for Canada in 1952?
