    I handled MANY period images with this Kodak logo

      Come to think of it, I have seen quite a few German photos printed on Kodak paper. Seems I even have a photo somewhere in my collection of some Heer soldiers standing outside a Kodak shop in France.

      My theory--based just on what I've seen come through my collection--is that Kodak paper was used to print early war pictures just as often as anything else. But with Germany cut off from imports, once these pre-war stocks of Kodak paper dried up and captured sources from the 1940 occupied countries were burned through, we see almost exclusively German produced photo paper from mid-war onward.

      Just my thoughts. I'm glad to learn something knew if anyone else has an informed opinion.

      All the Best,

      Z

        Eastman Kodak Company was an American firm.
        In 1896 the German Kodak daughter was founded in Berlin. In 1931 another factory at Stuttgart was founded.
        Kodak papers were not very common in Germany before 1945, as Kodak produced mainly cameras in Germany. Papers were often imported from the USA.

        Regards,
        Rudi
