Description:


Grouping of items from Augustin Amann, an apparent member of the Afrika Korps eventually captured by American forces. Included are about 75 photographs, the vast majority of which were taken during his service in Africa, various sizes up to 3 x 5 in., largely photos of towns, some devastated, field emplacements, villages and locals, portraits of Amann and his comrades, and other non-combat images. Also included are five letters penned by Amann to family members in Germany from June, 1944 to January, 1945, all in German and untranslated but certainly of routine content. All have been written on P.O.W. letterheads from camps in Texas and New Mexico and censored both in the U.S. and Germany.
