Graf van Orhart Weiss, een gevallen Duitse militair van de Kriegsmarine Possibly 1943 - 1947

"Graf van Orhart Weiss, een gevallen Duitse militair van de Kriegsmarine" is an anonymous photograph of a grave marker, likely taken sometime between 1943-1947 and now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The marker is a simple, white cross emblazoned with the Iron Cross, a symbol of military honor, and the Nazi Swastika. The inscription includes the deceased's name, rank (Masch-Gefreiter, or Lance Corporal), unit (9. Räumbootflettille), date of birth (18.11.22, or November 18, 1922), and the location of his death (Chemnis). This photograph is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and serves as a historical record of the era's visual culture.
