This film was just found and developed, straight from a foxhole in the Ardennes

Fascinating photos. The story makes them even better.

That is amazing, thanks a ton for sharing.

I have a friend who is a militaria collector. He found an old German camera he bought at a garage sale 20 years ago for five dollars. As a habit, he opened it in a dark room, just in case, and this one was loaded. It had 15 or so pictures from a waffen SS Tiger crew in Normandy. All were candid shots, them drinking, eating etc. I will see if I can get in contact with him and share them here if I can contact him.

Again, these pictures are amazing. Thanks again for sharing this find.

I hope there are living relatives who have received these pictures.

Nom d Lumiere, thank you for that link.

I, and I bet many of us here, have often thought about film from wartime being lost due to the death or wounding of photographer.
