Editorial Reviews:

Book Description
Photographers from the U.S. Army's Signal Corps were with the troops that drove back Hitler's troops and occupied Germany at the end of WWII. Soon photos of death camps and starving POWs shocked the home front, providing ample evidence of Nazi brutality. Yet did the faces of the defeated Germans show remorse? The victors saw only arrogance, servility, and the resentment of a population thoroughly brainwashed by the Nazis. In fact, argues Dagmar Barnouw, the photographs from this period tell a more complex story and hold many clues for a better understanding of the recent German past.

5 out of 5 stars

Graphic photos, closely examined and interpreted. July 7, 1997
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

The Allied invasion of Germany was accompanied byanother army, of photographers, military and civilian,who took thousands of pictures of the devastated country and its inhabitants, including Displaced Persons and concentration camp inmates.
Barnouw has closely examined a remarkable selection of the disturbing images, and provided more thorough and searching interpretations, showing that the victors' predispositions affected their objectivity and clouded their assessments of the Germans.
The reader is warned that many corpses are depicted.
