    Thank you very much!!! @roaringtree my Grandfather was the Son of a Steam Locomotive Driver in Berlin, but he wanted to dedicate himself to Art and had to finance Drawing Courses on his own. So he worked at Night in the Feldmüller Lithography Printing Company and at the Academy of Arts during the Day. When the First World War began, he worked for the Berlin Tram for a Year so that he could finish the Academy. Since the Tram was Strategically important, he was able to postpone Military Service for a Year (..then Women were deployed on the trams). During Military Service, he was sent by his Captain (for whom he took beautiful Pictures) to the German High Command in Macedonia to work as a Map Artist. The more I research, the more interesting it becomes, ...like a Movie.
