My fee will certainly keep you honest.

Only kidding.

I think there had been some discussion on where the window was made, and the article Michael posted states it was from Munich Germany.  Hopefully the studio doing the work can look for signatures or symbols, etc.

window was made by the Emil Frei Studios in their Munich location, apparently generated much controversy amongst the post war Germans, not only because of the memorial, but because of the woman as the central figure

I was intrigued by this - a laurel wreath for victory and an olive branch for peace, presented by a woman to the victor, is a classical concept, so why did it cause controversy? Do you know?
