Album V, 18: devastació a Amiens / Devastation in Amiens

IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE

Imatges de Amiens i la seva catedral l'estiu de 1941, mentre l'autor i tota la 225 Inf Div eren resituats a la zona, provinents de Normandia. Totes les cases de davant la catedral foren destruides en bombardejos alemanys el 1940.

Aquest és un album militar d'un soldat alemany de la Wehrmacht, força ampli en l'espai i el temps: va del 1941 al 1944 (pocs arriben tant enllà) i ens mostra els seus moviments durant la guerra per França, Alemania, la URSS i Dinamarca. És especialment interessant per comptar amb nombroses anotacions, el que ajuda molt a contextualitzar totes les imatges.

Pel context historic, crec força segur que es tracta d'un soldat de la 225 Infanterie Division. Posteriorment va anar a una escola de sots-oficials, on es graduà.

Per un dels retrats, sembla que l'autor (sempre amb ulleres) potser es deia Karl Heinz o bé Karlheim (cognom?).

=======================

Images of Amiens and its cathedral in the summer of 1941, while the author and the entire 225 Inf Div were resettled in the area, coming from Normandy. All these razed buildings where destroyed in 1940 German raids.

This is a military album of a German Wehrmacht soldier, quite wide in space and time: it goes from 1941 to 1944 (few go that far) and shows us his movements during the war through France, Germany, the USSR and Denmark . It is particularly interesting to have numerous annotations, which helps a lot to contextualize all the images.

Considering these geographical movements, I'm quite sure he was a member of the 225 Infanterie Division.

From one of the portraits, it seems that the author (always with glasses) may have been called Karl Heim, or Karlheim (surname?).
