Warehouse Repacking Operation, Wooden Crates of Quartermaster Stock, German Depot, Postwar Period
Rows of wooden shipping crates await repacking inside a U.S. Army Quartermaster warehouse in occupied Germany, circa 1945-1949. Stenciled markings -- including one crate labeled 'SHOES' -- reveal the depot's role in sorting, repacking, and redistributing enormous quantities of clothing and footwear as part of the postwar occupation and reconstruction supply chain.
