The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 1
Drawn from a U.S. Army Signal Corps veteran's album, these World War II photographs move from liberated Paris streets and a bustling North African market to bombed-out European towns and captured German officers under guard. Official coverage and personal snapshots sit side by side in a single record of the war.
