TO THE 80TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR.
Amateur photography occupied an important place in the art of the Third Reich. The ideologues of the Nazi regime repeatedly emphasized the role of "people's photographers" in creating its chronicle. By the beginning of World War II, the number of compact cameras in Nazi Germany reached 7 million, and many of them took their place in the backpacks of Wehrmacht soldiers. Photographing bans concerned only mass executions and plots that could be used by enemy propaganda, but they were not always strictly observed (even by employees of the death camps). As a result, in 1941-1945. millions of photographs were taken on the Eastern Front by soldiers and officers of the Wehrmacht. You are holding in your hands an album of unknown photographs from the battlefields of the Great Patriotic War and the occupied territory of the Soviet Union. It is based on a unique collection of photographs collected by the historian Georgy Shepelev. Detailed scientific commentary reveals photographs as a historical source and reveals not always obvious ideological overtones and messages. The selected photographs are devoted to a wide range of subjects: from the extermination policy of the occupiers to the everyday life of the Wehrmacht, destroyed cities, burned villages, Jewish ghettos and prisoner of war camps. The book was published by the Russian Military Historical Society.
