EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Hansa Renntorpedo Car in Poelcappelle: German Officers on a Reconnaissance Mission during World War I" 2.. This evocative photograph captures the moment when a Hansa Renntorpedo car, bearing the number plate of the Kaiserliche Freiwilliges Automobilkorps (Imperial Voluntary Automobile Corps), travels through the picturesque village of Poelcappelle, Belgium, in 1916. The image showcases two German officers, dressed in their military uniforms, intently observing the surroundings from the vehicle. The Hansa Renntorpedo, a fast and agile car, was widely used by the German military during World War I for reconnaissance and transportation purposes. This photograph, taken by renowned German photographer Hugo Wolltham, offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of the German forces during the conflict. The image is a poignant reminder of the historical significance of the First World War and the role that automobiles played in military operations during that era. The village of Poelcappelle, located in the Ypres Salient, was a significant battleground during the war, and this photograph adds to the rich historical record of the region. This image is an essential addition to any military history or World War I collection. 3.
