Life Magazine’s pictures of Germany, 1939 – 1940
WE’LL NOT SEE THESE KIND OF HISTORIC PICTURES AGAIN.
These color pictures were taken by a Life photographer between 1939 and 1940 in Berlin and were lost for
over 70 years because the American photographer disappeared at the beginning of the war, along with his
Rolleiflex camera. Shown here are the originals (used at that time in the production of magazines).  The
majority are 6"x 9".  They were found by a nurse in a Berlin hospital, who kept them put away during all these
years. After her death her daughter returned them to the current editors, who retain the copyrights to Life
Magazine, which has not been published since the early '70s.  Some of these are so vivid for being over 70
years old, and so large that you almost feel as if you're standing there !!
