Thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing. It’s always so interesting for me to hear about WWII experience from a different nation. Americans (and Canadians) like myself had a different experience from Europeans. Our family stories are so different from yours. I forget that civilians had it rough too.

deltaflute03 glad you liked it. Of course we had it easy compared to mainland European countries, and I know very little about the civilians in the East.

I enjoyed this. Can u talk more about history and society. And war brides and women. I love all of this.

I'll have to get my thinking cap on!

I remember my grandfather using Izal medicated loo roll (as shown) up until the early 1980s when he died. It was awful stuff - it was still used in my school (English state school) in the 1970s. The period's misogyny is tragically naive. Something that feels challengingly contradictory to my trans desire to live in '40s-'50s women's attire. I love the look of it, but having been raised by a 1970s feminist I truly believe in equality for all humans. I guess we are all a bit contradictory. Thank you for your informative video. And your high quality vintage lingerie. I love them both. M xXx
