-Comment: Some members of the Mann family and others in sailor suits/sailor dresses and Lederhosen. Also bathing costumes ond other historical clothing.

I think the first 2 pics showing Monika Mann. I'm not sure about the correct names of the actors as there are different time settings and most of the kids aren't credited on most databases. All pics are from the ep.1 set in 1927 (at least the beach scene, and some others maybe earlier). I think this is 25 yo Stefanie Stappenbeck (who played 16-43 yo Monika !).

Little Elisabeth Mann in beige Lederhosen with H-style suspenders (looks almost like a boy).

On the beach an older woman in a long white dress with a real and long sailor collar. Also kids and grown ups in bathing costume/bathing suits, but mostly far in the distance, one older teen boy in bathing trunks (also shown close-up).

The 5th pic showing 2 young men dancing together at a costume party, thereof one in a sailor suit being touched at the collar (same scene as pic 2).

Sadly I missed part 2 and the 2nd half of part 1 and so have to check it completely next time. I had too few space on my recorder.

Part 3 will be aired tonight, but is set in the 1940s.

Also starring Monica Bleibtreu, Veronica Ferres and Elisabeth Mann-Borgese herself. Quite interesting. Directed by Heinrich Breloer ("Eine geschlossene Gesellschaft", Lederhosen rating 6, "Die Buddenbrooks)". The sailor dresses, actors and plot are quite good, but there are better series.

Rating 5 for now.

Update: Some sailors in sailor suits in ep 3 (but I have only seen the first 50 minutes). Also 2 original b&w photos shown with kids in sailor suit in ep 1.
