German dead, this is the unusual thing about this group as it was normally forbidden to photograph the German dead. There are a number of photos of German dead in this album (and many French or Allies)

That is a very interesting set. The dead SS Polizei pics are probably quite rare.

thanks guys, yes I picked it up at the local flea market on Saturday (but it was reserved for me!!). I have had a lot of photos but it is extremely rare to find photos of dead German soldiers as it was forbidden.

Nice find, I find 31 the nost telling.
The clear strain of combat in their faces, and the thoughts
of desd comrades they must lay to rest. ' Who's turn next ?'
Thank you for posting.

Regards,
John.

I agree with the above. Thought provoking pictures of the most interesting W-SS division.
