Staffelalbum der Herzstaffel, 1943
A German Luftwaffe (air force) unit history chronicling the invasion of the Soviet Union during World War II. This is from our Kittleson World War II Collection.
This unit history mostly chronicles the unit’s time in the Ukraine and Russia. It also features candid shots of everyday life of the unit and some photos of the people in the occupied territory. The page above loosely translates to “The country and its inhabitants.” This unit history only covers the victorious part of the war for the Germans, after 1942 they were fighting a defensive battle against a revived Soviet army that defeated and conquered Germany in 1945.
