This checkered fabric-covered photo album measuring 3.5" x 5.5", chronicles the personal journey of a young man named Günther from 1934 to 1937. The cover displays noticeable surface abrasion on the right side. Inside, black-and-white photographs (55) detail his transition from civilian youth social life—featuring trips to Wandsbek, Güstrow, and the Elbe beach—into the Reich Labor Service (RAD). Clear images document uniformed personnel at the Reibitz camp in Merseburg, formal flag ceremonies featuring spade motifs, line formations, and guard duty. Hand-captioned pages track his activities over four years, providing a direct visual record of daily social interactions and early state labor service structures. Some photographs in this album may be vintage photographic copies rather than original copies. SW
