Photo collection LW + DAK Italy, Corfu, Greece and North Afrika

Morlar

Here are some photos from a German WWII collection. They show the same man in his Luftwaffe career throughout Germany (presumably), Italy, Corfu, Greece and North Afrika.

Many photos have descriptions and locations, dates & Names etc on the back of them which I have also uploaded.

Some assorted vehicles, railway workers (female), local arab workers, DAK (Deutsche Afrika Korps) & some flashy looking playboy cars. As well as the obligatory barracks joking around pictures. Luftwaffe tropical & DAK uniforms throughout. Nothing too spectacular or valuable but they give an insight into the mundane daily routines & unglamorous conditions.

i suggested a thread for links to auctions with items you dont want/cant afford/dont collect in my collection thread....it could help ppl find stuff they wouldnt see normally.
