German child soldiers captured by the 6th U.S. Armored Division in Giessen, Germany. March 19, 1945.
On March 19, 1945, in the central German city of Giessen, soldiers of the 6th U.S. Armored Division take custody of a group of prisoners who barely look old enough to shave. Some wear oversized uniforms. Some still have round faces, soft hands, and the stiff, unsure posture of adolescents trying to appear older than they are.
They are German child soldiers.
