Filmmaker John Heinsen shares the incredible journey of uncovering his grandfather Walter Heinsen’s World War I photographs, captured with large-format glass plates of museum-quality clarity.

In the French town of Le Cateau, John identified a parade scene from one of Walter’s photos. With help from the local museum — now the National Museum for Matisse — and the mayor, the town’s history came alive.

Villagers, including the archbishop, were stunned to learn from the photos that Kaiser Wilhelm II had visited during the Battle of Cambrai, the first tank battle in history.

Walter’s photos also documented captured British tanks and battlefield scenes, offering historians precise dating and a vivid window into November 1917.

From the Western Front to a New Life in America ✈️🌍

John Heinsen recounts his grandfather Walter’s incredible journey: stationed in France and Belgium during WWI, Walter documented history through his lens, capturing figures like the Red Baron and Kaiser Wilhelm II. 📸

These aerodromes, now featured in WWI video games, still mirror the scenes Walter photographed a century ago. After the war, he pursued art school in Bremen and Hamburg, but political turmoil forced a life-changing decision.

Following the tragic murder of his roommate, Walter left Germany for the United States in April 1923, beginning a new chapter.
