The German soldier

Almost a century has passed since the signing of the armistice on 11 November 1918. Ail that is left of the soldiers who went through that hell on earth are their photographs, letters, stories and uniforms kept in old attics.

Thanks to a collection of more than ten thousand documents, the author allows us to follow these young men with previously unseen photographs. All these faces, sometimes smiling, sometimes serious, have a story to tell. Many collectors have also allowed us access to their most precious objects, the fruit of their relentless research that helps save these objects that went through four terrible years of oblivion and destruction.

Finally, being in the era of Internet, many links allow you to retrace the history of your ancestors and their regiments.
