Soldier studies : cross-dressing in der Wehrmacht - Dammann, Martin, 1965-; Welzer, Harald (Berlin : Hatje Cantz, 2019)
"The artist and collector Martin Dammann found numerous amateur photographs of Nazi soldiers dressed as women - scenes that were part of a "sub-life," or Unterleben, as Erving Goffmann called it, existing beneath National Socialist ideology. Dammann, who studies war photography and the poweful impact of images and historiography, has compiled these photographs into Soldier Studies, providing surprising insights into the desires and the everyday lives of German soldiers during World War II, from the spirited horseplay of young recruits and improvised costumes at the front to elaborate theatricals in the Allied POW camps. Essays by Martin Dammann and the renowned sociologist and author Harald Welzer examine the multiple facets of the pictures"--Back cover.
