II. WK - American prisoners of war 1945

Image text:

U.S. prisoners of war captured by the German Wehrmacht with white flag in January 1945 on the Western Front. The National Socialist propaganda writes on the back of the picture on 11.1.1945: "American soldiers hoist the white flag. For days they had been lying in the nerve-shredding fire of the German defensive front. Hundreds of their comrades remained as bloody victims between the funnels. Now they are marching to a German collection camp." Photo: Fotoarchiv fuer Zeitgeschichte/Archiv [automated translation]
