Original Item: One-of-a-kind-set. This is a wonderful clean and crisp 40 page album with 146 photos that belonged to a Heer officer. The photos feature everything from officers in uniform, a U-Boat at sea which seems to be taken around Maderia in December 1937 as a printed card explains.
The first page of the album reds Beobachtungsabteilung 20 which was an Observer Battalion. Talbum seems to starts in the late 1930s and ends in the middle of WW2 approximately 1943. It features equipment photos, parade photos taken in Berlin with the Brandenburger Tor in the background and Adolf AH driving past saluting. One of the final photos (loose) is an officer receiving the Knights Cross in the field which appears to be in Crete. All photos are held in place with translucent or black corner tabs, nothing is glued. Overall and exceptional example of a decorated WWII German Army officer’s personal photo album. They don’t get much better than this!
