HANS LISKA (1907 - 1983)
Austrian-born Hans Liska is one of the most well-known and prolific WWII Axis illustrators, who served with the German Armed Forces (Whermacht) during the war from 1940 to 1944.
In 1942 and 1943 German publishing house Carl Werner in Reichenbach, sponsored by Junkers Flugzeug und Motorenwerke AG, published 2 albums with Hans Liska's sketches and color illustrations "to please the frontline soldiers and the workers of the weapon factories" in Germany.
Liska convincingly demonstrates that he has an eye for the real war drama, with all its pain, suffering, desperation, hard work, endurance, sense of duty, and courage for yet one more push to the utmost, which all participants are likely to share, no matter under what colors they fought and died.
