This new photo book series presents various selections of rare wartime
photographs. They are selected based on numerous subjects. Each volume
introduces photographs from battles, operations, vehicles, or complete
photo albums from soldiers who fought in World War Two.
This volume is divided into two separate subjects. The first part
presents a number of new photographs from the personal photo album of
Oberleutnant d.R Peter Prien who began his army career with
Pz.Nachr.Abt.37 with 1.Panzer-Division in January 1941 and finished the
war as Führer of the Stabskompanie of Pz.Rgt.3 of 2.Panzer-Division. His
album contains mostly photos of his time with 2.Panzer-Division around
the time of the Kursk battles. The second part presents a series of
photographs of the 8.8cm Flak 18 mounted on the chassis of the Sd.Kfz.8
half-track officially known as the 8.8cm Flak 18 Sfl. auf schwere
Zugkraftwagen 12 t (Sd.Kfz.8) als Fahrgestell. Most are new and
previously unpublished.
