Review
The Second World War is the best documented war in history. War correspondents, press photographers, propagandists, soldiers and civilians carrying their cameras all sought the opportunity to capture the tumultuous events of 1939-45.
In this book we can see a selection of color photos taken by German soldiers on the Eastern Front. Within this, we can get acquainted mainly with the various combat equipment, trucks, tanks and airplanes. It paints a bit of an idyllic picture, a bit like a series of snapshots of an exciting adventure. The horrors of the war do not appear, the many crimes committed by the German soldiers, we do not see pictures of the fighting, the executions, the concentration camps, the bombed cities. These images are interesting, presenting an almost idyllic image in which German soldiers appear in a positive role. Meanwhile, we know that was not the reality.
