EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Oberleutnant (Lieutenant) von Brandis stands proudly among his brothers, all three of them bearing the scars of battle. The image captures a poignant moment of camaraderie and survival amidst the chaos and carnage of the Battle of Verdun during World War One. The scene unfolds before the iconic ruins of Fort Douaumont, a strategic fortress that had long been a thorn in the side of the German forces. In the early days of the battle, on February 22, 1916, Oberleutnant von Brandis led a successful assault on the fort, storming its walls and securing a significant victory for the German army. Despite being one of several German officers involved in the capture, von Brandis was singled out for his bravery and quick thinking. He dispatched a detailed report on the battle's outcome to German High Command, providing valuable intelligence on the fort's defenses and the enemy's movements. His actions did not go unnoticed, and he was later awarded the prestigious Pour le Merite medal by Kaiser Wilhelm II. The medal, a symbol of military excellence and honor, can be seen pinned to the left breast of Oberleutnant von Brandis' uniform. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the Great War, and the indelible bond between brothers-in-arms. As we gaze upon this evocative photograph, we are transported back in time to the muddy battlefields of Verdun, where the clash of steel and the roar of cannons echoed through the air. The image stands as a testament to the courage and determination of the men who fought in the trenches, and the enduring bonds of brotherhood that were forged in the crucible of war.
