GERMAN WWII HEER PHOTO ALBUM – POLAND 1939, FRANCE 1940 – HALFTRACKS, COMBAT DAMAGE, GRAVES – NICE!
82 photos. Very nice German Army soldier's photo album with embossed "Meine Dienstzeit" cover. Interesting assortment of photographs apparently covering the Poland 1939 and France 1940 campaigns, along with military training and pre-war service. Excellent photographs of Sd.Kfz. halftrack loaded with soldiers, military trucks and vehicles, camouflaged vehicles, officers on horseback, group portraits, weapons training, soldiers in the field, marching columns, military formations, and soldiers wearing medals. Several excellent images of German troops entering towns with crowds of cheering civilians, destroyed buildings, bomb damage, wrecked streetcars, captured or abandoned military equipment, weapons and ammunition crates, civilians clearing rubble, and military graves. Of particular interest is a photograph of the grave of Fahrer Ernst Hormann, dated September 1939, although no unit identification is provided. Also photographs of concrete military fortifications, military cemeteries, German soldiers at seaside resorts, city views, and numerous candid images of daily military life. Interesting early photograph of uniformed Nazi Party personnel, training group with "Unser 1. Ausgang" sign, and much more. Nice variety of military and campaign-related subjects throughout!
