[Below: Here is a loose leaf folio of BEAUTIFUL watercolors by a soldier-artist named Fritz Brauner in 1942. This selection is unfortunately missing a handful of prints, but since I really like this artist, I'll work on finding the missing prints. As you can see below, Brauner also released another folio the year before in 1941. Normally watercolors aren't my favorites, although there are exceptions, but Brauner's work is fantastic. Truly timeless works of art done in icy battlefield conditions.

(Soldiers

24 Watercolors of the Winter Campaign of the
XXXXVII Panzer Corps in the East
by Fritz Brauner
Senior Private, Flak Regiment 101).
His art was also published in another folio of art entitled 'Rechts und Links der Rollbahn' (Right and Left of the Highway), (c)1941. Click to see inside Soldiers in Ice and Snow.]
[Below: Art within - '17. Gefechtsvorposten' (17. Combat Outpost). I love this one. The soldier stares into the beyond, his mind perhaps thinking of his home, his family, his wife and children...]
