photographs s.Art.Abt 422 Photo Album

[hucks216]

Many years ago I obtained a photo album to a Wachmeister (and later Leutnant) in a heavy artillery unit. After I decided to thin out my collection and sell the photo albums I had I moved it on but always regretted selling this particular album as it was one of the best I had seen. So when I recently saw it for sale again I couldn't resist getting it back. Not only does it contain over 500 photos but also hand drawings, newspapers and paperwork to give the album plenty of detail. There are plenty of ordnance images from MG bunkers to artillery pieces and also two interesting photos showing the graves of two Spanish pilots who were serving with JG-51 'Mölders'. Due to the album's binding I have had to take photos of the images rather than scanning them in.

Kev,

Glad you got it back. Cracking album.

Hello Kevin.

Thanks for showing this.

Also the photo of General Wlassow is of interest who is now much forgotten, a  prominent leader of the anti-soviet forces on the German side.

The nature of the those pictures taken at the front are quite apparent.

Hello. Tell me, please, does your album contain data for the second half of July 1941 (the Battle of Smolensk), such as photographs, maps, etc.?

I'm afraid not. It starts in January 1942.
