EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of departure for the Wandering Theatre Group of the 9th Army during World War II. Activated on May 15, 1940, under the command of General Johannes Blaskowitz, the 9th Army was a formidable military force that played a significant role in the early stages of the conflict. But amidst the chaos and hardships of war, there was a unique and unexpected element: the Wandering Theatre Group. Comprised of soldiers, musicians, and actors, this troupe brought a touch of culture and entertainment to the battlefields. Dressed in colorful costumes and armed with their instruments and scripts, they would perform for their comrades, providing a much-needed respite from the horrors of war. In this image, members of the Wandering Theatre Group are seen loading their equipment onto a lorry, ready to leave for the front lines. The soldiers' determined expressions and the musicians' focused gaze suggest the gravity of the situation, while the theatrical costumes and props add a surreal and almost dreamlike quality to the scene. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the human spirit's ability to find joy and creativity even in the most challenging of circumstances. It also offers a glimpse into the little-known history of the Wandering Theatre Group of the 9th Army and the unique role they played during the Second World War.
