Not really, they did have cameras back then.

Wouldn't we all just be flat images like a photograph if we didn't travel in time?

She was in the Hitler Youth before her present incarnation.
My dad's best friend was in the Hitler Youth. He claimed that Stalingrad cured him of any nazi delusions.
My mate Tony's dad was a Pathfinder in the Waffen SS.
He was in Poland 3 weeks before the war started on 'special preparatory operations'.
He got wounded on the Eastern front later on and won the Iron Cross - given to him personally by Hitler whilst he was in hospital back in Germany.
He was later captured by the Americans during the Battle of the Bulge and sent to an American prison camp, before ending up in England; married an English girl and worked for British Rail until he retired.
I met Tony's dad back in the 1990s, a couple of years before he died, but didn't know his history. It was only after he died that my mate told me his back story - and that I was one handshake away from Hitler.

Yebbut, I am not sure what's worse, meeting Hitler or working for BR! 😆
Seriously though, that's a fantastic story!

Always funny how these photos are so tightly cropped there’s no context.

More interested in what the hell is behind her on left. Is it an alien?
