Prince Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Christoph of Prussia (1911–1966)
WW2 German soldier. (Per the bottle on the crate he didn’t skip the luxury of an aftershave)
Colorised portrait of Kriegsmarine. Taken in Kiel at the same studio as another I have in my collection.
Not glamorous, at all. This photo is raw but I had to share it here. This poor German boy was so traumatised and scared for his life, most likely drafted too. The older soldier must have told him to get it together, and quick. This is the picture of war, as uncomfortable to see now as it was back then.
