A Potsdam Conference Photograph Album.
A very good album of one of the most historic conferences of the Second World War. 18 page hard card album measuring 330mm x 240mm containing photographs, ephemera and important piece of insignia all relating to Potsdam Conference in July 1945. The group comprises British Delegation officers pass to Lieutenant Colonel Lindsay-Young, pocket guides, further passes, Prime Minister’s table plan at dinner, traffic control plans for the Potsdam area, printed letter of thanks. Further ephemera paperwork. Original images of officers at the conference including we presume Lieutenant Colonel Lindsay-Young who we believe to be the collator of this album. Images of the Cicilianhof Hotel where the conference was held, with British, Russian and officers together. Images in the conference room of all the participants around the round table. Churchill and Truman together. British delegation arriving. British awards invested on Russian officers. Images of the streets of Berlin devastated by bombing. On the very last page a calling card of Albert Bormann. An armband, bullion wire woven in silver on green background cloth reading ‘KONTROLLDIENST’. A highly interesting and historic album, good condition £100-£140
