The fighting on the Ostfront was extensively documented by the press agencies of the various belligerents, each sending their war correspondents to produce series of photographs at the front. But this overlooks the fact that these photographs, inherently sanitised and selected, paint only a partial picture of the situation.

The Landser also had a camera in his kit, and the photographs taken by the soldiers reveal a different reality of the battlefield and of the war in the East. T

hroughout this work, Anthony Tucker-Jones presents hundreds of previously unpublished period colour photographs taken by German soldiers over the course of the conflict, showing their daily lives as well as every aspect of the war. Panzer, Luftwaffe, front lines, and also life behind the lines: this work will reveal the war on the Ostfront to the reader as they have never seen it before!

L20200278
€23.70
The defeat of 1940 remains the greatest political and moral drama to have shaken France in the 20th century. Beaten in six weeks, the French have since retained the impression of an ill-equipped national army and a poorly commanded country, quicker to flee than to resist the enemy. More broadly, the "syndrome of forty" is a deep trauma in the collective...

MAY–JUNE 40, the Invader's Gaze — Unpublished German Photographs of the Debacle

L20210060
€23.70
The present work revisits the German perspective on the Battle of France of May–June 1940. Unprecedented, drawn from a private collection of more than 2,000 photographs, this book presents essentially "private" images, in the sense that they were taken by the soldiers themselves as "souvenirs" to bring home — in which respect they fulfil the same role as...
