Their War: German Combat Photographs from the Archives of Signal Magazine
Editorial Reviews Book Description Wherever German forces operated during World War II, they were accompanied by the photographers of Signal, the German armed forces magazine?and the brainchild of Goebbel's propaganda ministry. While primarily a propaganda organ intended as a morale-booster (the title was a pun on the German word "seig" for "victory"), the Signal staff was always close to the front line, and took some of the most famous German combat photos of the war, including many in color.
Author and photo researcher Will Fowler has dug beneath the surface to reveal the true face of combat as German soldiers, sailors and airmen experienced it. He has now assembled a comprehensive and unique selection of Signal photos covering every major theater and arm of the German war machine.
Their War is much more than a photo scrapbook. Maps and a knowledgeable text follow the course of the war, year by year, theater by theater. And most importantly, the photographs are presented with detailed captions identifying units, locales, weaponry and equipment.
