WWII GERMAN LUFTWAFFE PHOTO ALBUM – RUSSIA – BELGOROD – BELGIUM – AIRCRAFT – EASTERN FRONT
79 photos. Original WWII German Luftwaffe photo album documenting the wartime experiences of an airman, including military training, unit activities, aircraft, and service on the Eastern Front. Photographs include Luftwaffe personnel in uniform, field exercises, military vehicles, troop movements, airfield installations, camouflaged twin-engine aircraft, and informal scenes of soldiers. Particularly interesting are photographs of aircraft concealed in woodland positions and a Russian road sign identifying Belgorod, Smijew, Starij Saltow, Rogany, and other locations in the Kharkov region, an area of intense fighting during 1942–43. Additional photographs show Brussels, Belgium, including the Cinquantenaire triumphal arch, and scenes of Ghent with its historic churches, canals, and streets. Other images depict Luftwaffe soldiers celebrating Christmas, barracks life, comrades, and military transport, providing an interesting photographic record of a German airman’s wartime service.
