WWII German Luftwaffe Officer Photo Collection 16 Photos Dagger Soldiers HJ Hitler Youth BDM Girls

Excellent collection of 16 original WWII German photographs documenting the private and military life of a Luftwaffe officer, including unusually candid scenes apparently taken around his home and garden.

This is a particularly interesting grouping because the photographs appear to follow the same officer, his family, and fellow servicemen, rather than being an unrelated assortment. Together they provide a fascinating glimpse into the everyday home life of a German Luftwaffe officer during the Third Reich period.

Scenes in the collection include the officer:

• Wearing his Luftwaffe officer uniform and peaked visor cap
• Standing outdoors while carrying/wearing his Luftwaffe officer dagger
• Relaxing at garden tables overlooking the surrounding countryside
• Speaking with another serviceman beside an open military vehicle
• With groups of uniformed men gathered in the garden
• Around his home and garden in several candid photographs
• With his children/family, including girls wearing period HJ/Hitler Youth-style sports shirts with insignia
• Informal family and recreational scenes
• Additional outdoor and group photographs offering a much more personal view of wartime German military life

Several photographs have the classic deckle/scalloped edges associated with period German snapshots. The repeated appearance of the officer, family members, garden setting, and fellow servicemen makes this a much more historically interesting grouping than individual loose photographs.

A great untouched personal photographic archive for the collector of Luftwaffe history, German military photography, uniforms, officer daggers, HJ/Hitler Youth material, or Third Reich social history.

Lot includes all 16 photographs. Please examine the supplied photographs carefully for condition, content, and details. Sold as one historical collection.
