Nov. 2nd, 2009 03:28 amWhat on earth was sold in "slot machines" (vending machines, one assumes?) in Central station in Copenhagen around Christmas of 1937? Chocolates, yes, dried fruits, sure, but what are "push cards"? And then there's "small ______".
By what standard were "certain frescoes" in Herculaneum in the 1930s forbidden to be viewed by ladies - even married ones? Nudity? Sex?
What was a "white Communism dress" in Vienna in 1935?
Was the cavalry along the Maginot Line during the beginning of the war in 1939 a relatively sane place to be for a young German conscript, or a rough one? What were the odds of survival?
Norwegian resentment vs. the Germans in the early 50s: what was it like? Subtle? Overt? Ugly? Violent?
If a book was banned in Berlin in 1938, what was it marked? "Gespert"?
