This extraordinary set consists of 33 candid photographs, most measuring 2.5 x 3.25 inches, with some varying sizes, capturing German SS and Army personnel in a rare and unusual setting during 1944. The images showcase soldiers in uniform, along with a few women, engaged in skiing activities in a snowy mountain environment. Whether part of training exercises or recreational downtime, these photographs provide a unique and seldom-seen perspective on the daily lives of military personnel during World War II.
This collection offers a fascinating glimpse into the human side of soldiers during wartime, depicting moments of camaraderie and physical activity away from the battlefield. A rare find for collectors, historians, or WWII enthusiasts, these images serve as a valuable visual record of a lesser-documented aspect of military life during one of history's most pivotal conflicts. This is an original historical artifact from the Second World War era, and therefore shows natural wear and tear resulting from age and regular use during the period. What you see in the pictures is actual item you will get.

Mistakes very rarely occur - however if one does please rest assured that it will be corrected.
