U.S. Paratrooper and a German Civilian Family Outside a Farmhouse, Postwar Occupation
A U.S. paratrooper pauses in his jeep outside a farmhouse as a German family looks on from their doorstep. Photographs like this capture the everyday reality of the Allied occupation of Germany in 1945, when American soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division lived and worked in close proximity to the civilian population.
