technically - historical question for forumcanam.
Several times, questions were raised on the attribution of captured pictures. They tend to the original stretcher and in the original frames and sizeable. Please'll show how it was possible to separate soldier bring home a volume of goods? Here a picture from one room to endure, so the frame on the corner always hit, but there tyschi kilometers.: Rolleyes:

Pictures cut out of the framework. Huge paintings could afford only the highest composition.

Besides, many things are taken away to museums or exhibitions in the USSR. Placed at a warehouse and reservists. And then, in our time, were sold. Suffice it to recall the scandal in the Hermitage.
Although this is only a drop in the whole sea.

For the military high value represents the German cigarette cases, lighters, household items - everything that can be useful at home.

Only one amendment: the officers are different. Sometimes major, is a major general.
As I suspected, these pictures of generals.

Judging by the label "DFAs 1818 (see photo backdrop of one of the pictures), the current owner's grandfather served in the headquarters 17y Air Force. Given the rank and duty station, my grandfather could well take quite valuable specimens. All luck!

What this label means?

DFAs - this is the active Red Army. 1818 - is the number of PPP. Next on the directory field postal stations are discovering that the number 1818 the number "17 VA - Headquarters.
If you believe the owner, then his grandfather wore the rank of lieutenant-general, and this is the level of the Army Commander or Chief of Staff. So the possibility of using "administrative resources" had been substantial.
