Photograph, ᛋᛋ-Standarte „Westland“, Eastern Front
€175.00
Tax included
Rare genuine WWII German photograph showing elements of ᛋᛋ-Standarte „Westland“ on the Eastern Front.
Created in the spring of 1940, this regiment, which was made up of Dutch and Flemish volunteers, soon became a part of 5. ᛋᛋ-Panzerdivision „Wiking“.
The present picture, taken by war correspondent Wiesebach, shows a column of vehicles crossing a swamp or some muddy area. Quite interestingly, the tactical marking painted on the front left mudguard of the first truck (on the right side of the photo) seems to correspond to 2. ᛋᛋ-Panzerdivision „Das Reich“
The reverse of the photo bears the following caption, typewritten in Dutch: Geen hinderpaal is groot genoeg om onze jongens op te houden! ('No obstacle is big enough to hold up our boys!')
Original print, in good overall condition.
Dimensions: 5.1in x 7in.
