German Riverside Town with Half-Timbered Houses, WWII-Era Photograph (Nurnberg Collection)

A German hillside town, its riverbank lined with centuries-old half-timbered houses, photographed by an American serviceman during the World War II era. Snapshots like this, taken by soldiers stationed in occupied Germany, captured the historic architecture of towns largely untouched by the devastation seen elsewhere in the country. Project: 218501
