The progress of the early 1950s...

There is a German song I was spontaneously reminded of when seeing this photo: " Now comes the economic miracle, the tummy is getting rounder again" (sorry, but in the German original song it is a rhyme !). When receiving this picture it was named "progress" and I was very excited what it would show me, but when I saw this, I was really amazed. These pictures really show authentically how it was in the 1950s, just beautiful. Please look at the gorgeous young ladies in the picture ;-).

The picture was taken by Hans H. Mueller who would like to receive messages from other miners from the former Victor/Ickern colliery in Castrop. Please be so kind to address Hans Mueller.
