The album contains 66 photos (not reprints but photos made from actual negatives) that are held in place with mounting corners. There are no photo captions in the album but some of the photos have writing on the back that says they were taken early in 1942 and 1943 in France, Italy, and Germany.
This album came from the estate of the veteran and has never been in the hands of a dealer. We are sure the album belonged to the man shown in the Luftwaffe uniform on page one (right).
There are pictures of the young Luftwaffe Grefreiter in training, with visiting higher-ranking officers, on 11 May 1942 smoking and drinking inside barracks, with kitchen personnel and drying dishes. There are two photos with a woman drinking beer, and she is identified on the back as the wife of the Feldwebel. Several photos were taken in Arras, France in July 1942, some are of scenery around Kitzbühl in Tirol, as well as the Inn river valley. Miscellaneous photos are dated 6 October 1943. There is a view of the German city of Würzburg and several photos are identified as the Italian city of Vicenza (about 40 miles west of Venice) in 1943, where according to writing on the back the Gefreiter was in a Fahrschule. From Vicenza he made a trip to the seaside resort of Grado.
There are photographs of the Offizierkorps der 1. Batterie, an artillery piece with Panzerplatte (protective armored plate), a mobile kitchen, and a coffee break at an outdoor café in December 1943. The last page (shown left) in the album shows the burial of comrade at an unnamed Soldatenfriedhof.
A nice, honest Third Reich Luftwaffe photo album in very good original condition.
