American Officers Walking a Mountain Path at Obersalzberg Near the Eagle's Nest, Germany, 1945

American officers walk a mountain trail near the Kehlsteinhaus, or 'Eagle's Nest,' on the Obersalzberg above Berchtesgaden, Germany. Following the German surrender in May 1945, the site drew a steady stream of Allied servicemen, including members of the 101st Airborne Division, eager to see the mountain retreat associated with the collapsed Nazi leadership.
