German Colonial Uniforms

The Harry Fakner Collection

This was a large private collection of original Imperial German colonial and overseas uniforms, which was sold several years ago. Included are photographs of Schutztruppe, naval, marine infantry and East Asian uniforms. Much of the collection was later photographed for 'The German Colonial Troops 1889-1918' by Jürgen Kraus and Thomas Müller (Published by Verlag Militaria). On this page are some photographs taken by Harry of his former collection in its original display.
