Hello Pen Friends
Does anybody know anything about these girls?
The pic was made in front of the Osmia- Fountainpen- Works in Heidelberg- Dossenheim/ Germany where they mounted fountainpens during the second world war. The girls came from the Ukrayne in the former UDSSR. I don`t know weather they came to Germany, during the first years of the war many people came to Germany to substitute the men, who were forced to go to war. But since 1942 the Hannah- Ahrend institute defined each work from foreigners as slave work. But these girls look well kept and dressed, similar to other German children during war times. There is no prison, no chains, no SS police.
The contract of Jalta (IMHO) forced each of the slave workers in Germany to return to his homeland after the war. Actually it was wellknown that Stalin immediately send people, who returned in a good health, to the Gulags in Sibiria because he charged them with collaboration with the enemy.
I know, it`s like searching the needle in the haystock, but maybe they had been able to escape the disaster, emigrated to a save country and are still alive, I suggest at the age of about 80 years. 
Does anybody know something about these unknown girls?
Kind Regards, Thomas
