Jupp Darchinger Post War West German Leica Photographer

[Contarama]

I didn't find mention of this photographer when I searched the forum so I decided to post this link to a youtube video on the gentleman. Sort of an interesting story especially considering all of the economic gloom and doom we are hearing nowadays.

I especially like the part when he says his Leica IIIC was like gold in those days!!! Very very interesting statement...

Very nice video. Thanks for the link!🙂

Especially appropriate since the History Channel on tv had a program on about how the German people got into the situation where Adolf Hitler took over. It started with the fall of Wall St. in The Great Depression when Germany was still trying to recover from WWI. This video shows the country on the economic rebound after 30+ years of economic poverty.

Fascinating historical information.

Very interesting and thank you for sharing.
I may well search Book Depository.com to see if I can obtain a copy of the book.
