    Color on a Soldbuch picture?

    I have just rediscovered a Soldbuch which sits here in a drawer for a long
    time. I never cared for it because it is nothing special (Zweitschrift).
    But today I noticed that the picture of the soldier is somehow colored - at least
    parts of it. I think it was done manually as most of the picture is black and
    white - but as far as I can see the surface gives no trace of a manual coloring so
    the color must have been part of the production process of the picture.
    D
    oes anyone know more about this type of coloring? Or do you have
    similar Soldbuch pictures? I can't remember seeing such a thing

    Interesting.....I do not recall every seeing a coloured Soldbuch photo, however recently I did see a colourised Wehrpass photo...with that said, the latter was a replacement and not original to the Wehrpass!

        Prior to WWII, my mother tinted pictures for a local photographer (I have one of her when she graduated from Hign School) and you can't even tell the coloring is hand done. She has, however, passed away and I never had asked her when and how it was done.

          Thanks a lot for your replies!
          I think Jungcos explanation is exactly it, makes a lot of sense.

          How "surprising" that such a thing is found in a SB of one of those LW-guys
          who spent the war far away from the front
