Bottom: "The success is resounding."

window shopping

Mid-1930s showcases. There seems to be no connexion between the buildings and the windows that "open". Most are from Germany's WWII-era leadership Germany, with the occasional Czech visible.

That's Incredible, thanks Mr. Cohen. Those window displays are like a 3-d rendering of golden era movie posters.

They are well known for organizing the "Trocadero Ball"
Since the Swing scene isnt that big in Germany, everybody knows everybody, cause most of the people travel to events! The scene is very small and familiar!

They are also working on this page http://www.blitzkriegbaby.de
This site provides detailed information about several WWII women's service organizations. If you are interested in reenacting, it will help you to find a favorite character and knowledge about the correct garments for your personal reenactment.
