What's the best direction to go?

It appears that is a sling around her neck and her left arm is injured. Looks like a dressing on it, and it's swollen. Maybe the GI is pointing to an aid station.

[CINDERS]

Could be to an aid station or to an area that is safe for civilians where there would be medical aid and food/shelter looks to be another child hanging on to her and a bub in the background so probably her dad/mother as well a family unit.

"You didn't talk to me like that before Truman got in !" ... "Lady we're here to kill or capture the enemy army, not to provide aid and comfort to enemy civilians." (Allied Forces had to provide all of the basic needs to both liberated and over run civilians in the was zones. And I think they did a good job as it was an additional task to wining the war. )

They might not be German.

The GI's division patch looks like it might be 20th Armored Division.
