Remains of "Fritz"

Remains of "Fritz"

Hoffman, Peter B.

The remains of a dead German soldier are laying down on the dirt ground with debris all over. The soldier is wearing his uniform and jacket and has some sort of cylinder canteen or carrier. The soldier's left arm and hand are at his left side. The right arm is pulled up over his head and bent slightly towards the photographer. The body is laying on a knapsack or other object that elevated the top part of the body. The soldier's head is just a skull remaining and angled slightly towards the photographer but looking to the left. While the head is skeletal, the hand do not appear to be. The entire body is laying horizontal and the bottom portion of the legs and feet are not visible in the photograph and are towards the left side.
