My grandfather, Albert Fox, was a quartermaster sergeant in WW2, driving supply truchs in Europe after D-Day. He encountered some American soldiers who had recently captured Goebbels' train and had picked up a collection of German propaganda photos. He swapped some cigarettes for the photos. My mum, June Neal, nee Fox, put them into an album which remains in the family.
