Well Tim I just about remember the guns going off outside Moscow! That was 1812 BTW.
Back in the REAL post war, I just about remember the NHS Orange Juice, rationing had just about ended, but, when we went to relations near Liverpool, there were still areas that were marked off from bombed out near Scotland Road. TEN YEARS later !
By then, half of Germany had been rebuilt with trains that ran on time! That was my memories of post war, the rest are too political for such a nice forum as the NBN!
