Captioned simply 'Nazi Prisoners, Brest, Fr.,' this Signal Corps photograph documents the aftermath of one of the fiercest battles of the 1944 liberation of France. American forces fought street by street to capture the fortified U-boat base at Brest, and this image, showing a long column of German prisoners marched under guard past shattered buildings, captures the human scale of that hard-won Allied victory in Brittany.
