Images from the book 'Der Kampf im Westen, The War in the West'
This 80 page book was published in Munich in 1940 as the second volume in a two volume combat book set. These 3-dimensional pictures books came with photographic stereo-viewer cards and a fold-up metal device with which the cards could be viewed.
I've selected and coloured a selection from the set of 100.
'100 cards featuring Waffen-SS, Police, Wehrmacht dog handlers, carrier pigeon troops, assault boat teams, heavy flak batteries, field guns, Panzer troops, anti-tank units, bridge builders and engineers'.
