These fascinating photos which captured street scenes of Germany were taken by Roger W during his summer-long trip in Europe in 1963.
“I had seen much of Germany while I was in the Army in 1960-1961. I concentrated on places I had not been, including a Rhine cruise, Nuremberg, Regensburg, and above all Berlin.”
