manayunkman Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share #3 Posted January 2, 2023 It appears that they were gifted by Chinese displaced persons in Berlin July 1945. “Mr” Shubow is actually a Jewish chaplain who worked with DPs as the war ended and for several months after the end of hostilities. The Germans had a small population of Chinese and eventually sent those that wouldn’t leave Germany to forced labor camps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
