5x Wartime Photographs – Wehrmacht Soldiers at Signposts

A fascinating group of five original wartime snapshots, each approx. 9 × 6 cm, showing Wehrmacht soldiers posing beside various directional signposts on the Eastern Front. These photos capture both the vast distances of the front and the everyday moments of soldiers interacting with their surroundings.

Highlights:

• Multiple German soldiers posing next to multi-directional traffic signs, pointing toward well-known locations such as:

  • Wjasma

  • Brjansk

  • Petersburg (Leningrad)

  • Tschernigow

  • Sablino

  • Kassino / Kassino-Wersk

  • “Verpflegungsausgabe” and other logistical signposts

• One light-hearted photo shows a soldier humorously lying across a signpost pointing to Irrel, 4 km.

• Another shows soldiers standing beside a destroyed Soviet T-34 tank, with directional signage visible in the scene.

These images offer a vivid glimpse into soldier life on the Eastern Front—mixing daily routine, humour, and the harsh backdrop of war. Ideal for collectors of WWII photography, Wehrmacht studies, Eastern Front documentation, or signpost-themed imagery.

All photos are original period prints, not reproductions. Good condition with light handling wear.
