The photographer Volker Krämer became internationally acclaimed for his dramatic pictures of the invasion of Soviet troops of Prag in 1968. At that time he photographed for the Rheinische Post, Düsseldorf. Already one year later Henry Nannen recruited him for Stern magazine where Krämer worked for nearly three decades until his death. During the Kosovo War, Volker Krämer reported from the war zone. On a chance encounter with a Serbian squad in which Russian mercenaries were also fighting, Krämer, his translator and another photographer Gabriel Grüner (1963-1999) were murdered in cold blood.
