Had no idea the Opera House was a nightclub in the war. Incidentally, David Sherman teamed up with Lee Miller and headed to France & Germany after D Day capturing events such as the liberation of concentration camps on film. Sherman took the famous picture of Lee in Hitler's Munich apartment, scrubbing herself in his bathtub. Apparently she took a matching shot of Dave! These are fantastic!

It appears everyone is just standing--not walking down them. I'm curious if the practice of walking down escalators had not started yet, or if everyone just wanted to pose for the camera.
