With the lingering concerns about the security and the safety of the country especially after the Nazis defeated the Democracies in 1940. None knew how the war would end, and there was a big probability that we would have a Nazi dominated Europe back then.

Just to imagine how hard life used to be back then , today housing is the most expensive, but we all know why ,but in those days if you didn't have a college or university diploma or a good skill life was hard, my grandpa was a shepherd we always had food but I remember the very first TV he purchased in payments and the first color TV from the entire neighborhood, to buy a car was super expensive my grandpa build his house by himself it 2as the only way to have a house, everything changed after ww2 more houses more jobs more of everything , it's unbelievable how fast time goes.

Some commenters here seem to think these films are the same as video. That is incorrect . Motion picture film is 8mm, 16mm, & 35mm. made of cellulose consisting of 100s, or 1000s of individual photos. Video did not exist at that time. Film and video are not the same thing. Just like a horse and a car are different.

I grew up a few hours NW of there, as did my parents, and their parents... Interesting to see all the drop-bar bikes, I didn't think those became popular until the 1970s. Wonder what brought out all those bike riders? My Dad would have been 10 at this time, but he eventually had a lot of success on HS teams including football, so it's interesting seeing the kids here play in such minimal equipment - gear that would have been similar to Dad's. Interesting too that the kids don't seem intent on brutalizing one another or creating a spectacle of ultra-violence which is what I would expect to see today.
