World Cup Champions 1954 & My Mom!

That's my mom standing in the convertible bug!
This is a scan of an original B&W print from the 1954 Homecoming parade for the World Cup Soccer Champs! Many of the players came from the town of Kaiserslautern  including team captain Fritz Walter. That why they had a HUGE parade! The devil was (and is) the teams mascot...

My mom almost married Fritz Walter the captain of the winning German soccer team!  He later had a stadium named after him in Kaiserslautern.  Very cool!
