About This Item
Collection of over 90 Gelatin silver print vintage black and white photos of German World War II soldiers on the French and Russian fronts. The photos depict life in the barracks, preparing tanks for battle on the front, grave sites, countryside and city destruction, and close up portraits of the young men. The Germans' army military was managed through mission-based tactics (rather than order-based tactics) which was intended to give commanders greater freedom to act on events and exploit opportunities. In public opinion, the German Army was, and sometimes still is, seen as a high-tech army. However, such modern equipment, while featured much in propaganda, was often only available in relatively small numbers. This was primarily because the country was not run as a war economy until 1942-1943. Only 40% to 60% of all units in the Eastern Front were motorized, baggage trains often relied on horse-drawn trailers due to poor roads and weather conditions in the Soviet Union, and for the same reasons many soldiers marched on foot or used bicycles. Such details appear in this photo collection. Photos come in their original envelope and have some age related foxing and creasing. Overall good condition.
