Before crossing the border into the Soviet Union and during the heady first days of the campaign, they imagined they would always be in front, "sniffing out" a way forward, tracking down their enemy, feeling them out, but avoiding confrontation. They would be foxes, Guderian's foxes.
Private Karl Jungermann, a reluctant soldier whose father owned a camera shop, was the only one on staff who could record the battalion's exploits. Having access to film stock and processing facilities, Jungermann became the unit's photographer. After returning ill from the Eastern Front in April 1942, he prepared a photo report, in reality a "sales catalogue" that his comrades could browse through and order prints.
Jungermann's extensive archive - original negatives, color slides, the well-paged photo report, stacks of individual photos and his diaries - form the basis of this volume, which was meticulously researched, compared and expanded on the basis of the war diaries of his main division and supplemented with pictures from other sources.
English text, 549 bw and 109 color photos, 6 color profiles, 21 maps, large format. 370 pages.
