Lt. Edwin D. Cooke, Los Angeles, Calif., 70th Div. Wingen, France
, lay with the dead for 18 hours during a German counterattack in this territory of France. At one time a Nazi rolled him over to cut off his wrist watch and failed to notice he was still alive. Here, Lt. Cooke (foreground) demonstrates the position he took to escape detection. The other soldiers in the background, one a medic, are dead. The area was, again, taken over by the Allies after an all night battle. 7 Jan. 1945.
