Two American soldiers pose together at a barbed-wire enclosure believed to be part of a forced-labor or prisoner-of-war camp complex in Germany, photographed during the final weeks of World War II. As units of the 101st Airborne Division advanced across Germany in spring 1945, soldiers frequently documented their experiences with informal snapshots such as this one, capturing both the camaraderie among troops and the sobering settings they encountered while securing enemy territory.
