British troops in Berlin are getting a little extra luxury this week
British troops in Berlin are getting a little extra luxury this week.
Although this little extra luxury is only a modest kipper, which arrived from Hull, England in large numbers, they are very gratefully received by the men and women of the armed forces in the occupied German city.
Picture shows: NaFI girls 20 year old twins Eva and Phyllis Stabler of Morton, Yorkshire, fix the sign bearing the good news.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1945 in Berlin, where British troops find solace and a taste of home amidst the post-war chaos. As the city struggles to rebuild itself, these brave men and women are treated to a small but cherished luxury - kippers from Hull, England. The image captures two young NaFI girls, Eva and Phyllis Stabler, diligently fixing a sign that proudly announces the arrival of this delightful surprise. Their smiles radiate gratitude and joy as they bring news of comfort to their fellow soldiers. During such trying times, when war had taken its toll on both body and spirit, these humble kippers symbolize more than just food. They represent a connection to familiar tastes and memories from across the sea. The troops eagerly await their turn for this simple pleasure that brings them closer to home. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how even in times of conflict and hardship, it is often the smallest gestures that can provide immense comfort. It showcases not only the resilience of those serving in occupied Berlin but also highlights the importance of maintaining morale during challenging circumstances. John Heddon's lens has captured an intimate moment frozen in time - one that encapsulates hope amidst despair while honoring those who served with unwavering dedication during World War II.
