I hope you can post more such photos here, they have a lot of value to the preservation of the history of the time.

I agree, but where does history stop? A few years ago I spoke at a high school leaders' conference. The topic was peacekeeping, which I expanded to talk about the continuum from peace to war. I had a series of slides and thought things were pretty clear. One kid asked what was the war in Bosnia about. I had to take a breath and remind myself these kids were little children when it was hot. My response was to call it blind nationalism. He was satisfied and no one made me sit down.
