EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determination and resilience of the US First Army as they advanced into the historic city of Cologne, Germany, in March 1945. The image shows soldiers picking their way through a decimated street, surrounded by the remnants of war. The once grand architecture of the city is reduced to rubble and debris, a stark reminder of the destruction wrought by the Second World War.

The scene is one of both devastation and hope, as the Allied forces prepared to liberate the city from Nazi control. This historical photograph offers a poignant glimpse into a pivotal moment in world history, and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who fought in this global conflict."
