A period album records the U.S. Army Quartermaster depots of occupied Germany, including the quarters of the 700th Q.M. Depot Company, tarpaulin-covered storage yards, machine-shop lathes, and warehouses of repacked crates. Civilian laborers appear throughout, a reminder of how deeply local workers were woven into the occupation supply network.
