A glimpse of US 9th Infantry Division in WWII. Photographs taken by Harold Roberts, and shown at a reunion recently show so fascinating moments from the division’s drive into Germany.

“As a combat photographer with the Army Signal Corps, Harold Roberts was an eyewitness to some of the most powerful scenes in the history of 20th century warfare. His photos capture scenes that words can’t describe, some so graphic that they can’t be published in a family newspaper.”
