Duitse militairen 1940 - 1945

"Duitse militairen" (German Soldiers), an anonymous photograph from 1940-1945, depicts two German soldiers in candid poses. The photograph is a rare glimpse into the everyday lives of German soldiers during World War II. The soldiers are captured in moments of quiet contemplation, perhaps taking a break from the rigors of war. The photograph is held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The use of black and white photography, a common practice during this period, adds a sense of historical authenticity. The image is small, only 60 mm by 87 mm in size, adding to its intimacy and sense of immediacy.
