Battle of El Guettar
This photograph was taken at the Battle of El Guettar. These soldiers made efforts to conceal their identity while out on the front lines. To utilize the element of surprise, these soldiers prioritized camouflage in order to blend in with their sandy and beige environment. The encampment can then wait and watch for the enemy while staying safe on their own side...
Slow Down
Being at war means that sometimes you have to get creative with your tactics. When a group of Germans was quickly approaching the American soldiers, they had to act fast. Thinking on their feet, they decided to explore a nearby bridge that the Germans would need to cross to reach them. It wasn't great for infrastructure, but it worked at the time!
