The former eastern territories of Germany, e.g. East Prussia, Pomerania and Silesia, were less densely inhabited by people and and had a larger amount of natural habitats than Germany today. The territories are now parts of Poland, Russia, and Lithuania.
Five men living in the former East, some of them even born there, produced photographs of animals in the wild, particularly of birds. They presented them in popular as well as in scientific publications, before and after 1945. These pioneers of wildlife photography were Walter von Sanden (later: von Sanden-Guja; 1888-1974), Horst Siewert (1902-1943), Otto Steinfatt (1908-1947), Georg Hoffmann (1900-1963) and Heinz Sielmann (1917-2006).

This vulture must have been a breeding bird in Crete and seems to be extinct since about 1980. In Europe the Eurasian Black Vulture Aegypius monachus is listed as extinct for about ten countries. Its present population is estimated to be 1500 pairs, of which 20 pairs live in northern Greece close to the border with Turkey. Worldwide, the only island population is known from Mallorca. The island of Crete has not been mentioned in this context in the up-to-date literature (Heredia 1996). The recent discovery of a photograph taken in Crete during World War II showing this species is reason to reconsider its historic distribution. It is v.orth foiiCMiing the traces which led to the discovery of this photo (FIQ. 1.) and recall the ol:>servations of others on this species in Crete, irrespectively if these former sightings meet today's standards.
