Reflections of War: Forgotten Photographic Archives of the Second World War: Deleuran, Peter: 9781803998985: Amazon.com: Books "In 2020, in his capacity as an antique dealer, Peter Deleuran discovered a forgotten archive of WW2 glass negatives with their original press sleeves. Since acquiring them, he has been committed to their careful restoration, while also excavating the human stories behind them. This stunning book is the result, unveiling 150 rare images and compelling background narratives across a variety of themes, from the early days of war through battles and frontlines, in hospitals and rescue operations, technology and warfare, to the home front, resistance and liberation, the end of war, its aftermath and remembrance. Each story is anchored by original press negatives and meticulously researched to reveal engaging chronicles, many untold for 75 years."
"This collection captures moments of loss and survival that resonate with hope and resilience amidst the backdrop of one of history's most horrific periods, poignantly illuminating the experiences of those who lived through the Second World War. . . .
Topfoto ‘One of the most important collections of World War II photographs to be found in a generation.’
