all grown up

Every picture tells a story, season 3, picture 6:

We saw the Hamborn brothers growing up last time, so here they are all grown up now.

The oldest working in the postal service (then still Deutsche Bundespost, with virtually all employees enjoying the benefits of being civil servants, Beamte), still at Hamborn:

whereas the other two went to work in the steel industry in Duisburg. Here's the middle one on holiday (don't have any pics of him at work I'm afraid, otherwise I would have called this entry men at work). I have absolutely no idea where this is, most likely southern Germany or possibly Austria:

and the youngest at his workplace (fourth from left), hopefully after the end of the shift:

Photos are all undated, but the first two should all be from the 1950s, the last one more likely 60s to possibly early 70s

Should anybody have any answers to some of the many questions I am raising in this series, please leave a comment here (I'll need to vet it, so it may take a few days before it goes public) or contact me at michaelgrr [at] yahoo [dot] co [dot] uk
