Death in the Open

These Germans lie bloating in the open where they fell. The German offensive operations during the spring and summer of 1918 drew the Germans out of their defensive trench positions and put them in the open. These Germans died in their shallow fox holes. What looks like shattered trees in the background are actually hundreds of advancing Americans. The message is clear- everything here is American or dead.
