These are color slides that was broken-up at eBay back in 2007. It shows Panzergruppe 2 (Generaloberst Heinz Guderian) in the Eastern Front during Unternehmen Barbarossa, July 1941. The slides were taken at the Panzer-Abteilung (Flamm) 100 which operated in the first part of Operation Barbarossa together with 18. Panzer-Divison. The corpulent officer is Oberst Gerhard-Peter von Zezschwitz (Kommandeur Panzer-Abteilung 100) which were later killed on 24 June 1941. The photographer was Bildberichterstatter Heinz Eckert.

Hello!
ReplyDeleteI am a retired USAF historian, former Fulbright Scholar, and author of 9 books on World War II. For the past 20+ years I have focused my efforts almost exclusively on Operation Barbarossa, on which I have written/edited four recent books ("Barbarossa Unleashed," "First Day on the Eastern Front," etc.).
Presently, I am working on a study of Guderian and the campaign of his panzer group in Russia in the summer of 1941.
I would be delighted if we could make contact, as I would love to be able to use some of your wonderful photos.

Don't know if my attempt to reach you went through, so I'll try again:
