Wehrmacht Photographer

Quite distinct from civilian journalists and cameramen employed by the majority of the allies, Hitler had real fighting men make up the ranks of his PK (Propaganda Kompanie) units. Finding the soldiers that had the experience in photo journalism was the first hurdle, since they were to be soldiers first.
But the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS managed to overcome this issue and by 1939 the first members were ready for duty as "Division of Wehrmacht Propaganda" formally under the command of Admiral Wilhelm Canaris (German admiral and chief of the Abwehr, the German military intelligence service, from 1935 to 1944) under the Oberkommando des Heeres (OKH), the Supreme High Command of the German Army. later receiving instructions from the summer of 1939 directly from Generaloberst Alfred Jodl, the chief of the Wehrmacht Guidance Office. Under Hasso von Wedel, the PK gained ever greater independence, and at the end of 1942 was upgraded to become the "Official Group for Wehrmacht Propaganda"
