As original Wehrmacht photo albums go, those of Gebirgsjäger outfits in combat are among the hardest to find. This original World War II 6-1/2 x 10 inch, 26 page Gebirgsjäger photo album contains over 100 original photos, most in either 2-1/4 x 3-1/2 inch or 2-3/4 x 4 inch size. All the photos are just exactly as they were placed in this album by the album owner decades ago.
There are virtually no 'civilian' photos in this album, rather the album contains photos shot with a very good camera depicting the travels and adventures of a German Wehrmacht horse mounted Gebirgsjäger during World War II.
A photo on the first page shows the Gebirgsjäger unit aboard a train leaving for service somewhere. There are few pictures that appear to be training photos, rather there are photos of barracks life, Nazi rallies, graves of German soldiers, uniforms and equipment, individual soldiers, travel en route to the front, tanks, trucks, armored cars, towed guns, surrendering civilians, the destruction of war, etc.
There are photos of the unit moving as a horse mounted unit, mountain troopers with pretty local girls, troopers attending the funeral of a fellow Gebirgsjäger, pausing for lunch, troop columns on the move, barges in a river, and a series depicting men of the outfit in the company of a single female rider that we have named the mystery woman. Someone out there may know the circumstances of this pretty woman's presence in a column of horse mounted Gebirgsjäger.
On the last page of the book there is a picture of a uniformed Gebirgsjäger on the railing of a bridge with another pretty woman, apparently his wife.
There are only two original pictures missing from this album as far as we can tell. Very rare Third Reich material in excellent condition.
