Photographed on 2 October 1941, during the breakthrough by Pz.Bde.Koll
north ofVyazma: the brigade commander's PzBefw.III, with the white
turret code 'R06', on a typical Russian dirt road- rollbahn. In front
of it, a column of Granit ambulances; to the right, Soviet prisoners;
and in the background, smoke rising from an oil dump bombed by Stukas
The photographs on these pages are a small selection from a
remarkable- perhaps literally unique - collection taken in 1940-44 by
Colonel Ritgen during his front-line service. The camera was a Leica
III (Summitar f 1.2 lens). Col.Ritgen's wife, at that time a nurse at
the Paderborn military hospital, was a former employee of the Agfa
company, and as a keen photographer herself was able to obtain through
a personal contact with the firm a supply of the new and very rare
Agfa 35mm colour film. The exposed films were sent back from Russia to
Agfa through the Army mail service, and the processed pictures were
kept in Germany by Frau Ritgen.
