ドイツ国防軍のアルバムの中から、1枚を抜粋しました。Excerpt of one of our collection of Wehrmacht albums. Produced in 1937, this book contains some explicit images from the invasion in Poland (not on display). Other albums from our archive show impressions of very empty streets in Paris and Lyon in 1940 and a more relaxed situation in Sicily in 1941.

War photos of Wehrmacht soldiers, stored in boxes and albums, can still be found in cupboards, cellars and attics of many German and Austrian families. The visual memories from the different front lines and regions in the conquered countries of Europe and North Africa were often pasted into war albums specially prepared by the photo industry. Their covers were decorated with symbols of the Wehrmacht and the Nazi regime such as the steel helmet, swastika and Reich eagle.
