Large photo album - Generalgouvernement Krakau Theater photos

Large (36cm x 25.5cm x 6cm thick), hard cover, cloth-bound, German WW2 period photo album. Consists of 77 double-sided pages with photos, newspaper clippings / articles, etc depicting the Staatstheater des Generalgouvernements in Krakau (state theater of the Generalgouvernement in Krakow). The German occupation authorities in Poland, headed by the infamous Hans Frank, established a German theater in Krakow in mid-1940, led by director Friedrichfranz Stampe. This photo album documents the 1941-42 season, covering the plays, operas, concerts and performances that occurred from September 1941 to June-July 1942. Nearly 230 photos / printed images glued on the pages (some photos that are partly unglued have Generalgouvernement official stamps on the reverse, as well as written descriptions). Very well documented, basically all plays / performances from this period have playbills / programs, reviews and newspaper articles, lists of actors / musicians, etc. There are also interesting details such as the proposed model for the new German theater in Krakow (proposed in 1942, it was never built).
