The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 2
From stateside parade grounds and Fort Bragg portraits to C-47 boarding lines, captured Nazi vehicles, and occupation patrols in defeated Germany, these images follow the 101st Airborne Division from training through victory. Among them is the capture of a senior Nazi official in May 1945, a rare glimpse of the war's final reckoning.
