WWII German Wehrmacht Training Photo Lot x17 Young Soldiers Camp Field Scenes For Sale

Original WWII-era German photograph lot consisting of 17 photos, all appearing to originate from the same group of very young Wehrmacht soldiers during training or camp life.

This is a cohesive and visually consistent grouping, likely taken over a short period, showing early-stage military training, field exercises, and daily routines.

What’s shown:

• Young Wehrmacht soldiers in early service (notably youthful appearance)
• Field training exercises and group formations
• Camp life scenes with tents, benches, and outdoor setups
• Rifle handling and instruction scenes
• Casual moments (resting, sitting in groups, interacting)
• Formation drills and unit gatherings
• Individual and small group portraits in uniform

Several photos clearly show:

• Soldiers practicing with rifles (training environment, not combat)
• Organized group instruction around tables and equipment
• Camp setup with canvas tents in wooded areas
• Early-war style uniforms and field gear

Details:

• Quantity: 17 original photographs
• Size: Standard small snapshot format (see photos for scale)
• Finish: Mix of matte and semi-gloss
• Edges: Many with period scalloped edges
• Condition: Good overall with typical age wear (minor bends, light marks, some fading)

Historical Context / Collector Notes:
This lot appears to document basic training or pre-deployment instruction, likely early war or even pre-war period based on:

• Youthful appearance of the soldiers
• Informal training atmosphere
• Lack of heavy combat gear

These types of candid training photo groups are highly collectible because they provide:

• Insight into early Wehrmacht training culture
• Clear visual documentation of camp life and instruction methods
• Cohesive provenance (same group of men across images)

Collector Value Highlights:

• Large matched lot from a single unit/group
• Strong mix of training, candid, and posed images
• Includes rifle training and camp scenes (desirable subject matter)
• Excellent for research, display, or resale as individual pieces

Condition Note:
See photos for exact condition. All items are original period photographs and sold as-is.
