Personal Collection of 60 Photographs, Condor Legion, World War II

Personal collection of sixty photographs belonging to a soldier of the Condor Legion during World War II. This incredible historical document features images of the soldier's personal life-moments of rest, relaxation, his wedding, and daily life-as well as photographs of the war, most likely on the Eastern Front. The photographs are original prints from that era.

Among the images are scenes of daily life and family moments, as well as striking depictions of military life-including harrowing ones, such as those of Nazi soldiers' graves marked with swastikas and helmets placed atop the crosses. This is a unique collection of photographs, all in evocative sepia tones, which bear witness to what life was like for German soldiers on the front lines at the time and are of undeniable historical interest.

The Condor Legion was the (primarily air) force made up of volunteers that Hitler sent to support Franco's Nationalist Army during the Spanish Civil War. Hitler's idea, which arose from a suggestion by Göring, was to test German air power in a conventional war, and it ultimately proved to be one of the keys to Franco's victory.

This collection of photographs is a faithful record of a dark period in the 20th century, perfect for completing even the most ambitious collection of military memorabilia, as well as the most comprehensive historical archive on contemporary Europe.
