Description
WEHRMACHT INFANTRYMAN'S PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM Very good extensive grouping of over 300 photographs documenting a Wehrmacht infantryman's service collected in a 14"" x 11"" leather-covered album stamped: ""Meine Soldatenzeit im Krieg 1940-45"". The images many of which are captioned commence with his basic training and very quickly segue into the invasion of France in which he participated. Images include panzers artillery pieces wrecked bridges and roads shelled and bombed cities and towns refugees and the grave of an unknown French soldier. He returns to Germany for a short while seeing friends and family and then is sent back to southwestern France the under Vichy control likely in pursuit of Resistance fighters in and around Angouleme Concleon Royan and in duties concerning the West Wall. Many images are taken in the field marching at planning tables showing Kriegsmarine vessels at sea etc. His party soon ends as he is sent across Europe to the USSR in the area of Witebsk and Welish (he includes a hand-drawn map) with great photos of destroyed Russian and German armor Russian dead bunkers ""dragons teeth"" graves etc. Some photos bear a little brewing at corners from adhesive on verso else very good.
