Troops Disembarking via Gangway to Rail Cars, Port of Bremerhaven, Postwar Germany
Soldiers carry their barracks bags across a gangway at the port of Bremerhaven, the principal American gateway into occupied Germany after World War II. Nearby, German railway boxcars marked 'Allied Forces' stand ready for onward transport, while camouflage-painted fuel tanks in the background bear witness to the port's wartime defenses.
