Re: Shelter Scene
I have previously seen another photograph of the same scene. The other appears here Please scroll. The group appear to be seated to the opening of an air raid shelter showing steps leading down. There is another man in the photo seated below "Maj".
Selfies

The guy on the right seems to have a clockwork miniature cine camera in his hands in one of the images. I wonder if the film survived the war?
