Photographic record of the German Army on the Western Front 1914-1918
from 1930. Interest in the First World War, or Great War, remains effervescent,
and Helion are committed to publishing in English some of the tremendous amount
of material that is available with regard to the Imperial German Army during
this conflict. Comrades in the West is a newly-translated and annotated
photographic record of the German Army on the Western Front 1914-1918 that was
originally published in Germany in 1930.
The format is simple - a selection of 220 images arranged in
chronological order portray all aspects of the German Army at war in the West.
All branches of service are included, and despite the fact that this book was
originally published eighty years ago, the majority of the images have remained
unpublished since. Apart from portrait and other 'static' shots, there are also
some tremendous action photographs from the front lines. This title will appeal
to anyone who wishes to see a different view of the Great War on the Western
Front, and those who are particularly interested in the German forces who fought
there.
Comrades in the West is being published in a strictly limited edition
hardback run of 750 copies, printed on high quality paper, each copy
individually numbered and signed by the editor/translator.
Available late 2012
