Photographed from behind through a barbed-wire enclosure, four German officers stand as prisoners of war in this image from a 101st Airborne Division collection. Captured during the division's campaigns in Western Europe, these men represent the tens of thousands of German soldiers taken prisoner by Allied forces in 1944-45. The photograph's composition, shot through the wire, visually reinforces their status as captives within a hastily established holding compound. Project: 218246
