Two of the albums contain shots taken by German infantrymen that include scenes of combat, vehicles, knocked-out tanks and prisoners of war. Two of the other albums feature flak and artillery units in the invasion and show artillery and flak units in action, destroyed Russian aircraft, vehicles and armour as well as Russian prisoners. The final album contains photographs taken by a tank destroyer unit and includes knocked out Russian armour, artillery and assault guns in action and a fascinating glimpse of the transition into the first winter. There are also many exceptional photographs including rubber boats carrying troops across a river, knocked out monstrous Russian tanks, engineers at work and a range of more casual poses. There are also some interesting studies of uniforms and equipment, abandoned vehicles, vehicles being salvaged and maintained and a host of other subjects.
