Via Damn Interesting, we are treated to a slide show of Kodachrome colour plates (see also), likely souvenirs from an unnamed nurse stationed at the 97th US General Army Hospital in Frankfurt circa 1952 
to 1953 just as West Germany was rebuilding from the war—a sprawling medical campus first used during the Berlin Airlift and since become the grounds of the consulate general. Images from this individual’s tours of West Germany feature the most some of the most photogenic shooting locations for postcard snapshots from Frankfurt, Wรผrzburg (including scenes from the Saint Killian parade), Rothenburg ob der Tauber as well as places unknown, just passing through, the obligatory grand tour whilst in Germany whether one’s stay is short or long. Much more at the links above.
