Notes to myself & questions
- 1920s & 1930s, absinthe, sloe gin may have been popular. Absinthe was never banned in Germany.
(google: popular drinks 1930s germany (eng and ger, variations thereon); wikipedia (de & en) pages on alcohols)
? Would young women (age 19 or so) have drunk these things?
? Cabarets: would young women have gone to them? Would it have been weird? (google & wikipedia: cabaret/kabarett, who went to cabarets 1920s) Google says that by the 1920s, burlesques were just strip clubs basically. So I want cabarets, I'm pretty sure.
? How were families of war deceased notified? Bodies were buried at the front (I gather), so were personal effects sent home, and did they get posthumous medals? I mainly want to know about the German customs.
(google: world war 1 deceased notification families german/ erste weltkrieg toten familie notifiziert)
? What were mourning customs in 1930 Berlin? (google: funeral/mourning customs germany/berlin/lutheran 1930; trauergebräuche 1930)
? What did German soldiers carry for luck in WW1? (Google: luck charm world war 1; erster weltkrieg amulett/talisman/GlĂĽcksbringer) (The last one there got me a link to a lottery page. :P )
