Frontkampfer I: Blitzkrieg 1939-1942 is a collection of rare photographs, many of which have never been published before, highlighting the German war machine in the early years of the Second World War. Beginning in September 1939 with the invasion of Poland, the reader will follow the German military as it conquers France, the Balkans, and North Africa, before sweeping deep into the Soviet Union during Operation Barbarossa. Frontkampfer I: Blitzkrieg 1939-1942 reaches its crescendo as the German military occupies the Caucasus Mountains region and advances to the frontier of Asia, before being repelled by the Red Army at the horrific Battle of Stalingrad on the banks of the Volga River in the winter of 1942. Frontkampfer I: Blitzkrieg 1939-1942 offers the reader a glimpse into the conditions of the opening years of the war in photographs directly from the albums of the men who were there. From heavy tanks to small arms to uniforms and equipment, Frontkampfer I: Blitzkrieg 1939-1942 is a collection of rarely seen German photographs of World War Two, with pertinent historical background, and a study of the photographs themselves.
Jeff D. Eberle is an author, photographer, and amateur historian. Over thirty years ago, at the age of twelve, he began collecting militaria, with a special emphasis on authentic Second World War Two photographs. The main areas of focus of his collection are images from the Eastern Front and images depicting small arms in use. Over the last three decades, his photo collection has grown to number in the thousands. As well as collecting, Eberle also deals in, appraises, and authenticates wartime photographs. The author was born, raised, and lives in Colorado.
