Walther von Reichenau in Russia

Generalfeldmarschall Walther von Reichenau (facing the camera, Oberbefehlshaber 6. Armee) in the summer of 1941 during Unternehmen Barbarossa - German invasion of Soviet Union. The picture was taken by Alois Beck, a Parish priest and amateur photographer in the Second World War on the Eastern Front and in Stalingrad. After the war Beck gave many lectures on the Battle of Stalingrad and tried to clarify the fate of fallen or missing German soldiers in Russia.
