EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of triumph and surprise as a captured German Albatros biplane is paraded through the streets of Salonika, Greece during the First World War. Circa 1917, the Albatros D.III was a formidable opponent in the skies, and its capture would have been a significant achievement for the Allied forces. The biplane, with its distinctive angular wings and open cockpit, is towed along the road by a truck, surrounded by a crowd of curious and excited onlookers. Men in military uniforms and civilians, both young and old, gather to witness the spectacle, some pointing and taking photographs, others simply marveling at the sight of the enemy aircraft up close. The scene is a testament to the excitement and unpredictability of wartime, as well as the determination and resourcefulness of the soldiers and civilians living through it. The photograph, taken in Salonika, also known as Thessaloniki, is a reminder of the multifaceted nature of the conflict, which extended beyond the battlefields and touched the lives of people in unexpected ways. This historical image offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the experiences of those who lived through the First World War.
