.... when you combine the efforts of the Party ... Germans after all, who were camera-crazy .... and the countless military personnel who sent pictures home ... it isn't surprising that the Eastern Front, in particular, was so well and so candidly photographed, IMO. And photos immortalize ordinary, everyday people in a wonderful way. This thread, in its randomness and photographic precision has become a kind of walking tour, a ramble of the entire conflict-period 1933-1945 .... every picture offers a surprise.
