German FLAK Unit Photo Album in Holland - RAF Funeral

[B-24J]

This was an auction for a German WW2 photo album on eBay.

Near the very bottom of the photos is a 1941 funeral for 3 RAF personnel killed in action.

Very impressive funeral.

No, I did not purchase nor bid the album. It went for a bundle!

I don't get it - why then did you share the link? Just to show the photos?

educational/reference/research/interest in the subject matter? tis in the ww2 forum after all.....I'd like to think my relative and his crew mates got as good a send off as the Blenheim crew did. PER ARDUA AD ASTRA.

Very unique and personal glimpse of German military life in Holland. Almost looks like a vacation album as the German army was at the height of it's power. The photographer was a very capable amateur. I love the hand crafted scrapbook with the ticket stubs.
