(Luftwaffe Fotoalbum). An interesting private wartime photo album belonging to a Luftwaffe soldier, constructed of a heavy card stock binding with a faux blue leather exterior, secured together with a rayon cord looped through four magnetic metal-reinforced eyelets set into the spine, featuring 19 black card stock interior pages separated by wax paper liners, with 150 black-and-white photos pasted onto the pages, dated from 1940 onwards with some of the photos bearing handwritten captions, the album notably features both scenic images as well as battlefield photography from the Western (Belgium and France), Eastern (Ukraine), and Mediterranean (Italy) theatres, of particular interest among the images are rare depictions of a captured Soviet T-35 tank, one photo is missing and age-appropriate material fatigue is evident to the wax paper dividers with consequent separation of some, measuring 308 mm (w) x 218 mm (h) overall, an excellent album depicting an array of theatres throughout the duration of the war in overall better than very fine condition.
