Updated August 27, 2026

This photo album is bound in a chevron-patterned fabric cover, displaying minor fraying and some fading consistent with age and use. The album documents activities of female German Red Cross (Deutsches Rotes Kreuz, DRK) personnel at the Reserve-Lazarett Berlin-Neukölln in 1942. It contains both posed and candid black-and-white photographs, including scenes of nurses marching in formation, patient care in hospital wards, and group portraits in outdoor and indoor settings. Several handwritten German captions identify locations, dates, and individuals. The album provides a chronological account of wartime hospital life and female auxiliary service in Berlin during the Third Reich period, reflecting the organization and daily operations of the DRK. Physical dimensions are approximately 8 by 6 inches. Page edges show evidence of careful handling, with intact photo mounts throughout.
