Post WWII Berlin Displaced Persons - from our story 'Smoking On Trains: 1940-1988'

The removal of displaced persons is one of the many unsolved problems in Berlin. Hundreds of these displaced persons crowded the Anhalter Bahnhof station in Berlin for a train to Wittenberg, Germany, en route home. Many of them had waited as long as two days for transport, and those who did not get on the train had to wait another day for the next one. A study of two aged German displaced persons who waited with their baggage’s outside the Anhalter Bahnhof Station, in Berlin, on Oct. 11, 1945, for the train to Wittenberg.
