Ambush victim
Killed SS-Hauptsturmfuhrer SS next to his car. Probably the car with the German officer got ambushed by the Americans. Photo taken January 18, 1945 by US army Sgt C. Tesser of the 167th Signal Photo Company. See the snow chains on the car. In the background is an American jeep with, most likely,the photographer's colleagues.
