The effects of "shellshock" are widely studied in the modern military, but it must have always been a massive factor in war. How far back were the effects of war on the human psychology documented? And how have views of those struggling with shellshock changed since war began?

My Oma, 15 years old, fled the bombed city of Hannover in 1944 (or '45). Next, she is seen in Bremen in 1945 in her 'Pflichtjahr'. I need to fill in the blanks. How did she end up in Bremen? Through German or US force? I'm desperate for answers. Pictures inside.
