Walking Wounded

Three GIs of the U.S. Army's 442nd Regimental Combat Team, composed almost entirely of American soldiers of Japanese descent who fought in World War II., pass a broken down German - French production - Zugkraftwagen P107 U304 (Unic-Kégresse P107) in Bruyeres, France.
During World War II, the Germans used these captured half-tracks extensively under the name Leichter Zugkraftwagen 37. With German half-tracks in short supply, Major Alfred Becker of the 21. Panzer division (which in 1944 was stationed near Caen in Normandy) suggested converting captured French vehicles. He ordered the conversion of several hundred Unic half-tracks into U304 light armored personnel carriers.


Japanese-Americans

A first batch of German POWs arrives at an unidentified British port from Normandy (June-July 1944) and is paraded under the watchful stare of US MPs with weapons at the ready, although the group looks definitely beyond its fighting days. Few of these POWs will end up in British facilities; most will travel to the US and Canada to wait out the war.
