Description
(Pressphoto) Fallschirmjäger “Abwurfbehälter” (large size 24,5 x 18 cm).
“Deutsche Wissenschaftler – Fallschirmjäger. Vor dem Start zum Einsatz wird das Labor, in einem Abwurfbehälter verpackt, im Abwurfschacht der Ju untergebracht” [German scientists – paratroopers. Before the start of the operation, the laboratory is packed in a drop container and housed in the Ju’s drop chute].
This a photo of a small group of German paratrooper scientists photo’s. A totally unknown branch of the Fallschirmjäger. These accompanied the landing of (large) groups of paratroopers and did e.g. test on groundwater, to see if it could be used for consumption.
This is a very rare original wartime pressphoto. Due to it’s large size very good for display, either framed on a wall or in a glasscabinet.
It is in good condition.
