FIGHTING IN UKRAINE: A Photographer at War -- Images of War Series

1-211400

Although many pictorial books have been published on Germany's hapless invasion of the Soviet Union, they are typically a collection of soldiers' snapshots or 'official' photographs taken by Propagandakompanien (PK) reporters. This book is different. It contains an extraordinary personal record of the war captured by a professional photographer, Walter Grimm, who served in the German Army in a communications unit.

This includes 300 unpublished black and white images that show insight into the daily life and privations of the ordinary German soldier. The Ukrainian people, many of whom initially welcomed the Germans as liberators, are also chronicled in this fascinating study of the fighting in Ukraine.
