Description
(Pressphoto) Fallschirmjäger “Chemische Probe” (large size 24,5 x 18 cm).
“Deutsche Wissenschaftler – Fallschirmjäger. Durch eine weitere chemische Probe vergewissert sich der deutsche Arzt, ob das Wasser wirklich keimfrei und für die Soldaten geniessbar ist” [German scientists – paratroopers. With another chemical test, the German doctor makes sure that the water is really germ-free and safe for the soldiers to drink].
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.
