Malte Znaniecki's images of the Western Front |
| Malte
Znaniecki is a member of the Great
War Forum, the discussion community part of the Long, Long
Trail. He is building a superb collection of contemporary and
modern-day images of the Western Front. Many are from German
sources that are little seen by British readers. My thanks to
him and to others who have added images into this wonderful
collection. |
