Description

Occupied by the German forces from 1940 until 1944. A rare shot of the French "Breguet 521" aircraft was transferred to the Luftwaffe Seenotstaffel (Sea Rescue Squadron). Furthermore, some nice photos of Generalfeldmarschall Hugo Sperrle, taken during a visit to the troops. Knight's Cross winner. 

The album was compiled after 1945 by the veteran with his original war photos. Also some hand-written notes by him. 

In total: 123 photos.
