Censored Photos
in Germany
A
Collection of Censored Photos Published in 1933
cover page of a French magazine
- The photos on the following pages
come from a second issue in a
series of a 1930s French magazine
called 'Secret German Photos of
the War', a companion publication
to a previously published
magazine showing
French censored photos. The
claim that all the photos were
censored during the war by German
authorities should be taken with
a grain of salt, though by and
large the issue does contain
quite a number of images that
were probably not very beneficial
to morale on the home front.
There are the almost obligatory
scenes of mass graves and corpses
heaped in piles, of horribly
wounded, of amputees, of German
prisoners-of-war being
mistreated, of soldiers' brothels
and prostitutes and of executions
by firing squad or hanging of
'spies', hostages or deserters.
