Evidently WWII German & Russian soldiers were avid
snapshooters, and many of their rolls of film have
been coming available for about 20 years as the
shooters have died off, and their descendants
clear out their chattels.

Many of these and similar ones are available on
the net; especially these, and few are annotated.

With a view to collecting these and sorting them
into sets I ask:

1/ Can such photos be characterized by some camera
or lens (ie aberration) fingerprint, by accurate
aspect ratio and/or sepia tint?

1/ Do cameras of the old sort have any signature
that applies to their photos?
