German Schoolboys ca. 1945

[Como]

I saw this pic today and thought I would post on the forum. The only caption was "German Schoolboys ca. 1945" so I don't know if it was pre-surrender or post war. I would think that if it was during the war we would see some HJ uniforms(?).

I think that it must be after the war ended, the first boy is barefoot, and I think that I can se some more barefoot down the row. A lot of them also have short pants . I do not think that kids will be barefoot and in short pants in January - April.

Leaves on trees in January?

I think it is when the war was ended.
The food-drum tells Ernähunrungsamt, office for feeding.
Remember having heard about it during the TR-period.
I think it would have been assigned to NS-Volkswohlfahrt then!

The "Ernährungsamt" was an authority regulating the production and distribution of food in and after war.

I'm going to show that photo to my ten-year old. He makes the same face when I tell it's time to turn the Wii off. Should be a good reality check for him )

I see what looks to be part of the word Charlottenburg which would put this location as part of Berlin. Such a sorry sight.
