Historie

This issue is dedicated to World War II. The Normandy landings, celebrated by the images of Robert Capa, come alive here in largely unknown photographs from the U.S. State Archives, shots by photographers who documented those historic moments on the battlefield.

But in this book you will find not only war photos, but also emotionally powerful images such as the one of the little French girl placing a flower on the grave of an American soldier, or the one of the young French girl loading her two children and belongings into a baby carriage before beginning the long journey to a safe zone. And there is no shortage of a portrait of Ernest Hemingway together with Colonel Charles T. (Buck) Lanham; it is September 18, 1944, in Germany. Hemingway in fact was at the front first as an envoy to the Pacific Ocean, then participated in patrol operations against German submarines in the Atlantic, and finally participated as an "irregular" soldier in the liberation forces that landed on the Normandy coast.

As of the Zoom Archives philosophy, the photographs are accompanied by accurate historical texts that provide insight into the origins of the war and its dramas, beginning with the concentration camps and ending with the suicide of the Nazi hierarchs.
