    Biography
    Johannes Vosskamp (1896-1945) was a veteran of World War I and so were his brothers. It is unclear when he became a Nazi party member. In World War II, he was drafted at the age of 46 (ca. 1942) as part of "Organisation Todt" behind the lines. He was sent to Serbia and was declared "missing in action" at the end of the war in 1945.

    Film Provenance
    The private collection of 9.5 mm amateur films by Johannes (Hans) Vosskamp, whose profession was Ober-Stadtamtmann in Duisburg during the 1930s and 1940s, were donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in December 2009 by Mr. Vosskamp's daughter, Edith Liebner, and her two sons, Peter and Ralph.
    Note
    Edith, Ralph & Peter Liebner donated original 9.5mm films showing early Nazi party gatherings in Germany, including a trip to the annual Nuremberg rally in 1935. Shot by a World War I veteran and early party member, the footage provides an insider’s perspective on the development of the Nazi movement that offers a striking contrast to the official documentation found in German newsreels and propaganda films.
