Photographs supply the best evidence for historical pictures and are first class documents. This kind of evidence is hardly achieved by other documents for in 1/100 sec. the photographer captures the event for all times.
Particularly photographic documents are bringing back an epoch to those who personally experienced it and are making it real for following generations. It may be a challenge as well as a confirmation Events should be recalled to mind otherwise they can fall into oblivion.
In particular younger generations react more readily to pictures (illustrations) than to text. Certainly manipulation of photographs is possible but that is not the case with those published in this book, as they show mercilessly the reality. It is important to look upon pictures only in relation to history to interpret them correctly. It is essential to have war pictures, showing battles where the divisions were involved, explained by experts who on their part were involved in the actions and who as well have a clear view of the events as they use reliable measures so one can talk of it as scientifically handled.
Our book of photographs should be considered in this way as it is completed with documents and maps. It is worth mentioning that photographs taken in those days by German war correspondents suffer from the lack of technical perfection. Film material as well as developer were of low standards and cannot be compared with those from nowadays. Nevertheless we believe it to be necessary to present these unique documents to the general public. Near Fine. Item #6526
