Each of the photos in this photo set was professionally re-mastered on glossy photo print paper from one of the original prints in the set called DAS HEER IM GROSSDEUTSCHEN FREIHEITSKAMPF (The Army in the Greater German Battle for Liberty) as published for the Oberkommando des Heeres (OKH) in Berlin by Förster und Borries in Zwickau, Germany in about 1942.
The prints in the original OKH set were published early in the war on high quality coated white paper stock which gave each print bright, vibrant colors. Almost all those OKH sets were broken up decades ago to be framed or posted in barracks and classrooms, sent to friends, etc. Even today German antique and militaria dealers frame individual prints from those original sets and sell them for prices in the $150 to $250 range.
The photos in the OKH print sets were taken in the Soviet Union by Army PK (Propagandakompanie) or combat photographers. Some were taken in the Balkans and Greece and some were taken in arctic regions.

All the photos in this 50 photo set are as clear and colorful as the originals were. Some photos, like the assault boats for example, were intentionally shot slightly out of focus for artistic reasons, but most are very sharp. The photos are all formatted just like the originals.
