Portrait of a U.S. Army Officer at a Billet in Occupied Germany, Postwar Period

A U.S. Army officer poses for a portrait outside his quarters during the American occupation of postwar Germany. His Eisenhower jacket, ribbons, and garrison cap are typical of the uniform worn by U.S. personnel stationed in Germany in the years following WWII, when requisitioned buildings like the one behind him housed thousands of American troops overseeing the occupation.
