WWII German Kriegsmarine Press Photographs - Not Allied Press Releases
World War II Photo lot of five original black and white press photographs (Pressephotos) documenting German military and naval activities in the Aegean and Dodecanese regions during early 1944. These images were produced by the Luftwaffe Propaganda Company, identified by typed labels on the reverse as Prop.-Kp. Lw. KBZ. 17. The photographs are printed on period paper bearing the Agfa-Brovira watermark visible on the reverse of several images. Each photograph is accompanied by an original German-language descriptive caption label adhered to the back, headed with the restriction Nur für den Dienstgebrauch! (For official use only!). The labels also feature stamps reading Nicht zenfiert (Not censored) or Noch nicht zenfiert (Not yet censored). The content of the collection includes: 1. Two photographs from the series Piraten der Ägäis (Pirates of the Aegean), dated March 1944. One image depicts two German minesweepers (Räumboote) at sea, and the other shows a group of sailors and military personnel on the deck of a vessel, including a man in a Kriegsmarine uniform with a rating badge on his sleeve. 2. Two photographs from a series regarding an English 3000 BRT steamer found in the Dodecanese, dated January 1944. One depicts a group of officers, including a Kriegsmarine officer in a white-topped peaked cap, examining a map on a rocky coastline identified as the island of Lisso (Insel Lisso). The second shows the same group from behind, looking out across the water toward a small island. 3. One photograph from the series Schiffe unter der Tarnkappe (Ships under the Cloak of Invisibility), dated May 1944, showing a naval convoy at sea with a torpedo boat laying a dense white smoke screen to obscure the transport ships.
