Josef Ulsamer World War II Collection

The Josef Ulsamer World War II Collection consists of five photographs featuring German Luftwaffe Lieutenant Josef Ulsamer in uniform and with his spouse, most likely taken in Kiel, Germany circa 1930s-1940s. One of the photos features a Junkers Ju-88 aircraft with an exterior view. Another photograph depicts an interior view of an aircraft, likely a Heinkel, with an airman, possibly Ulsamer, in defensive position below the cockpit. While the aircraft photographs do not have any location information, they may have been taken at the Sola Air Base in Norway, occupied by several German Luftwaffe reconnaissance squadrons from 1940-1944. Also included is an undated newspaper clipping with an image of a Kiel journalist laying flowers at a memorial in Reykjavik for German airmen shot down over Iceland during World War II.
