People of the Occupied Nations...

[LarryHW.]

German soldiers took some very good photos during WWII. Very often, they took pictures of civilians, going about their daily life. It would be very interesting to see some of these photos from different countries.

Hi,

A lot of German soldiers were interested or even fascinated about the peoples of the occupied countries.

Most photo albums will contain a few pics showing the ethnicticity, living conditions, poverty, national costumes, working conditions etc. of these people.

Here's a selection from one album alone. The german soldier who took these photos was greatly interested in this subject.

Cheers,
Larry

6. I have noticed that a lot of Russians didn't wear shoes. Were they a luxury or did they choose not to wear them for other reasons?

Living conditions. Probably displaced persons.
