The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 2
Camp life and combat aftermath on Okinawa meet in this run of 1945 snapshots, from servicemen relaxing outside their tents and bathing in improvised showers to jeep patrols, bombed ruins, and civilian laborers at an open-air work yard. A rare view of the white, green-crossed Japanese surrender aircraft at Ie Shima anchors the group to the Pacific War's closing days.
