He later became the first chancellor of post-war Germany.<BR/><BR/>The cake was probably made by "Cafe Fromme" in Cologne which is still existing and known for their good "Baumkuchen" and other cakes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-54803634244918568602009-02-01T15:14:00.000-05:002009-02-01T15:14:00.000-05:00The number is blocked by that guy's elbow, but I t...The number is blocked by that guy's elbow, but I think it's 12th Armored Division in that tank cake photo.

Folks in the 50s apparently had a thing for inventive (but nauseating) methods for presenting hot dogs.
