American Soldiers Await Haircuts Outside a Building with Russian-Language Signage, Postwar Occupation Zone
American soldiers line up for outdoor haircuts beside a building marked with Russian-language signage reading 'Reception' and 'Information Here.' Scenes like this were common during the Allied occupation of Germany and Austria in 1945, when U.S. forces, including the 101st Airborne Division, operated processing points for the millions of displaced persons and former prisoners liberated at war's end.
