December 18, 1920. Anticipating Christmas


Norman Rockwell was contemplating Christmas, just a week away, on his cover illustration.
 
In Germany the Allied Disarmament Commission order the German government to conduct house to house searches for firearms.  

I've never seen this really fully explained.  In looking at it, I think they were looking for military weapons, but you rarely see it fleshed out. An example of bad historical detailing, as it leads, I suspect, to a misunderstanding of what was occurring, or it would be truly an example of Versailles Treaty overreach, the cited examples of which often are not.
