The volume had some rare color photographs of the War. This marked it as an expensive book. Germany in the 1930s was a industry leader in color photography. Color photographs of World war II are relatively rare. Many of the color images we have are German images. The U.S. Army in Europe used black and white film. Agfa when the War broke out was a real contender for Kodak in world markets and was in fact dominant in Europe. The War destroyed German industry and Agfa never recovered its once dominant position.
