Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Dead (French?) soldier near Ypern. Because of the bombardement other soldiers could not recover the corps until one year after death. He was seen all the time from the trenches, so the Germans gave him the nickname "Der Leichengigerl von Flandern" (corresponds approximately: "The dead dandy of Flandres". The foto was perhaps an inspiration for the (anti-war) etching "Leiche im Drahtverhau (Flandern)" of the German artist Otto Dix.)
Deutsch: Ein im Oktober 1914 im Wytschaebogen (vor Ypern) gefallener Infanterist (aufgrund der Mütze vermutlich ein französischer Soldat), der aufgrund des starken Beschusses nicht geborgen werden konnte, aber von den Schützengräben eingesehen werden konnte und von den deutschen Soldaten den Namen "Der Leichengigerl von Flandern" erhielt. Eine um 90 Grad gedrehte Ausschnittsvergrößerung der oben wiedergegebenen Fotografie war evtl. Vorlage der Radierung "Leiche im Drahtverhau (Flandern)" von Otto Dix. |
