    Description

    Auch er fiel für sein Vaterland
    He too fell (gave his life) for his fatherland.
    I am guessing that this is likely a Polish citizen or military soldier.  I am certain that this is from the Invasion of Poland as I have another photo (also listed for sale), in the same handwriting, that is identified from the Battle of Wegierska-Gorka, which was on the first day of the invasion.  I would speculate that this is also from that battle.  The writer seems to indicate in his tone (he, too) that this is a Pole and not a German.  Both photos are from the German perspective.
    Incredibly rare and unique photo from the very outset of what is considered as the true beginning of WW2.
