Images from the US National Archives' collection of photographs from the Berlin Office of the Firm Presse Illustration Hoffmann, ca. 1933 - ca. 1944. Heinrich Hoffmann was the de facto official photographer of the Nazi Party. The collection contains approximately 31,000 photographs of Nazi political activities, rallies, meetings and personalities, and provide documentation of the economic, cultural, social and political life in Germany and, to a lesser extent, Europe as a whole. Many photographs deal with wartime military conferences, leaders, the Fuhrer Headquarters, and training. The collection contains very few photographs of military operations. This collection is an important source of images for scholars of the Third Reich. Note: the pints in the collection's were made from glass negatives and vary in quality of contrast and clarity. A significant number of the prints were used at the Nuremburg trials and are marked-up to identify senior party and military officials. Each DVD has approximately 1,500 images scanned at 600dpi. None of the images are captioned; however, a German-language shelf list is included that identifies some events and individuals within a span of negative numbers. All told, there will be about twenty DVDs in the complete collection. Each DVD is $20

Hi
Do you send rolls in pdf format? I'm interested in some rolls but I would like to receive them through file transfer instead of DVD copies.
regards

 

Hello! No, I do not put my products into pdf format. I scan the documents as jpegs and everytime a scanned image is transfered from one format to another (i.e, jpeg to pdf) there is a loss of image quality. I am working on improving my Internet service (in the United States many of our ISPs limit upload and downloads rates) so I can provide many of my products via an ftp site. This of course speeds delivery and eliminates postage costs.

Regards,
Marc

 

I can again only highly recommend Marc's services.

All the best

Marc - To save me going through all of the posts. Do you still only have the one disc of 1940 photographs from France? Anything BEF/FRance 1940 related is always of interest (if it's in English).

Edit

Maybe I should get the German 1940 War Diaries to in case I can get them translated
