Re: [Cz-L] Willy Pragher

Dear Mimi, dear all,

the state archives of Baden-Württemberg in Freiburg stock some hundredthousends of negatives by Willy Pragher after getting his complete material from Pragher's family in 1992 when Pragher died. The pictures from Romania and others can be seen online. Have a look here: https://www2.landesarchiv-bw.de/ofs21/olf/struktur.php?bestand=20946
To get the pictures from Czernowitz click on the folder '1941-44' and then scroll down.
I think Edgar posted the link already two years ago too.

All the best
Christian
