80-G-54414: Battle of Anzio, January-June 1944. German Prisoners at the Anzio Beachhead below Rome, on their way to prison camp. Sporting an Iron Cross on his jacket, this Nazi prisoner of war poses for a camera study onboard the LST bearing him to a behind-the-lines prison camp. A veteran of 260 missions in less than 2 years, this English-speaking fighter pilot is 27 years old – he still believed in the ultimate Nazi victory. Photograph released February 17, 1944. Official U.S. Navy photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives. (2016/06/28).
