snake36bravo Posted September 9, 2021 Share #4 Posted September 9, 2021 When the photograph was printed the developer reversed the negative. Its a great photo and also a good example of a novice move by a photo developer of that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted September 10, 2021 Share #5 Posted September 10, 2021 An impressive piece of (sad) history. I want to thank you for sharing this, Jack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake36bravo Posted September 10, 2021 Share #6 Posted September 10, 2021 I hope you don't mind me flipping the image vertically and adjusting the lighting. Note the shell 'at the ready' to be loaded. The Flakhelfer with the headset on serves to demonstrate that despite their youth they took their task seriously.
