    Sweetheart

    What a sweetheart! Just a little bit shy. Note how they try to bribe her with chewing gum!

          Hi,

          anyone was able to identify the location ?
          The building is very frenchie, similar to Le Louvre. I checked for a dozen of minutes all the similar buildings in Paris and the area, without any chance so far.

          See You

            These days you'd be in serious trouble if you did that as a stranger...

              I´m afraid you are correct about that. I don´t know, but to me it seems the number of perverts is increasing? Off topic. Sorry! Just can´t understand how anybody can do harm to little angels like that...

                What a beautiful picture!

                Do we know the back story to this beautiful photo? It sort of looks they are trying to get her to tell them where her mum or what her name..

                Either way.. I'm going to say it again.. a beautiful picture!

                    Adorable little kid! Wonder what the soldiers were thinking.
                    Perhaps they had own kids back home...

                      Looks like the scene from Saving Private Ryan.....except this is real. The forgotten side of the war where children are left to fend for themselves.

                      A very touching photo. Thanks for showing Ludwig.

                        Hi,

                        finally a good friend of mine found out the location of the first picture !
                        The "sweetheart" is a frenchie, and the picture was taken probably in 1944 or 1945 in front of the Casino of Trouville-sur-Mer. I went there in 1998, but i have no memory of that... Alexandre Durville was the main architect of the Casino at the time.







                        See You

                            Hi,

                            more on the liberation of Trouville and the picture.

                            Confirmed to be from 1944, and it could be also a little boy ?

                            On the map, the Casino is located under the name of the city written in black.

                            See You
