TO THE 80TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BEGINNING OF THE GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR.
Amateur photography occupied an important place in the art of the Third Reich. The ideologists of the Nazi regime repeatedly emphasized the role of "people's photographers" in creating its annals. 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 satchels of Wehrmacht soldiers. Prohibitions on photography were limited to mass executions and subjects that could be used for enemy propaganda, but these were not always strictly enforced (even by death camp officials). As a result, millions of photographs were taken on the Eastern Front by Wehrmacht soldiers and officers between 1941 and 1945. 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 photos collected by historian Georgy Shepelev. Detailed scholarly commentary reveals the photographs as a historical source and reveals ideological undertones and messages that are not always obvious. The selected images cover 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 is published by the Russian Military Historical Society.
