I like to see this. This is the City I was born in, was bombed out with my family, moved back to after forced to live in the Russian Zone, and emigrated from to the US. I miss Germany and my Hamburg very much.My Husband came from this City too.We emigrated, since there was no sign for a better future at the time. A bombed out City whithout enough housing, we only had one room with my Parents.I wish, we never left this Place. Missing Hamburg and Germany !!!
