ProvenanceThe first of two albums by a Luftwaffe propaganda unit photographer named Seidat. Almost all images are of the Eastern Front, documenting German advances under fire, aircraft types (Ju52, Fw189, Ju87, Me109 plus captured Soviet machines with German markings), burning villages and the apparent interrogation and co-opting of Ukrainian (?) collaborators. Of particular interest are aerial shots of bombing runs on rail lines and advancing tanks, as well as devastated civilian convoys. Also included are photographs of infantry and artillery combat, 88mm flak guns, airfield and camp life, surrendering civilians and a beheaded statue of Stalin.
