Heidelberg, Germany, Oct. 30, 1948: Devils, ghosts, pirates, ladies and what appears to be a time travelling Austrian Hungarian police officer from the early 1900s pose for a photo. The Halloween party was one of many held for children of U.S. military stationed in the American zone of Allied-occupied Germany.
