Original black and white photograph dating from the World War II.
This photo shows a young german soldier, dressed in light convalescent or military hospital clothing, sitting alone on a bench in the garden of an establishment. The background reveals a building as well as landscaping, evoking a military hospital, a rest center or a convalescent home.
The back shows the watermarks Agfa Lupex, period German photographic paper, as well as a handwritten number “95”.
Historical analysis
This photograph illustrates a more intimate aspect of the lives of German soldiers during World War II.
The white outfit worn by the soldier differs from the classic combat uniform and most likely corresponds to a patient or convalescent outfit used in some German military hospitals (Lazarett). Gardens and benches were frequently arranged to allow the wounded and sick to get some fresh air during their recovery.
This type of scene, far from the combat, is much less common than field photographs and constitutes an interesting testimony to the medical infrastructures of the Wehrmacht.
