Fantastic Image of Germans on the Moon, 1918

JF Ptak Science Books  Quick Post  WWI Photos

Nearly all of the WWI photos that have appeared on this blog are from my own collection–this one, this fabulous one below, is not.  It is a fantastic image that I think would bring up notions of crazy proofer types looking to establish the idea that Nazis actually went to the Moon and have been hiding there since 1945–but no. it is just a great photo.  Also:  I’ve seen a number of photographic postcards like this from folks at a country fair or some such thing, having their picture made sitting with the Man in the Moon–soldiers included.  But I’ve never seen one with this many people involved.
