A Soldier's Collection of Photos
I recently picked up an album containing 99 photos taken by a German soldier during WWII. I'm just in the process of researching the photos but wanted to share some with the group. The quality of my pictures of the photos isn't the best but I will be retaking them in better light to save for reference. Any information provided would be appreciated as this area of collecting is new to me. Thanks for looking!
I saw this for sale yesterday, but I don't collect photos , glad to see it pop up here.
I'm sure someone here can fill you in.

Some observations:
Third picture: The men in the non-German uniforms are Hungarian gendarmes.
Fifth picture: The structure is the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel in Paris.
Sixth picture: The column is the Siegessäule in Berlin.
Seventh picture: This is the Palais de Chaillot in Paris, seen from the Eiffel Tower.
Some more from the same album...
The tank pictured is a Czech TNH P-S Light Tank, many where used by the Germans up to 1942.
The German designation was PzKpfw 38(t), many where later modified for mobile artillery Marder , it was also the used for the Hetzer.
Not sure on the wrecked tracked vehicle, but I've got it, I think. It's a Polish PZinz C2p. A Fiat engined 6 cylinder, 45bhp powered tractor with a 4 speed gearbox. Produced from 1937-39 and used to tow 37mm AT and 40mm AA guns. Carried a crew of 1+3 and based upon the TKS tankette!
