The Bundeswehr is now looking back on a more than 55-year history and has had to prove themselves since the end of the Cold War already in many international conflicts.
Especially the early years of the rearming of the young republic are already back in the mists of time and are poorly documented.
So not only rare uniforms, small arms, Allied relief supplies and automotive rarities are shown. But also the daily life of the "citizen in uniform" is recalled.
He relies solely on the work of the Bonn photographer Rolf Baumann, who in the years from 1955 to 1958 took pictures on various journeys through the Federal Republic. With 208 photos.
