Description
(Pressphoto) Fallschirmjäger “Wasserprobe” (large size 24,5 x 18 cm).
“Deutsche Wissenschaftler – Fallschirmjäger. Die aus einem Brunnen entnommene Wasserprobe wird von einem als Fallschirmjägern eigesetzten deutschen Wissenschaftler auf Trinkbarkeit untersucht” [German scientists – paratroopers. The water sample taken from a well is tested for potability by a German scientist deployed as a paratrooper]
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. FJ dropping container photo’s are very hard to find.
It is in good condition.
