The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 1
Photographs taken by troopers of the 101st Airborne Division trace the division's path across Western Europe, from captured German guns and weapons to snowbound Alsace-Lorraine road signs, wrecked aircraft, and bomb-shattered villages. Together these images record the aftermath of combat and the harsh winter conditions of the Ardennes campaign.
