Captured German Officers
German Officers being escorted away. The looks on there face I think there time is very limited. It looks like the War might be over when this was taken.

They should be grinning from ear to ear... those are GIs, not Ivans.

Looks like a couple NCOs behind the officers, too.

It looks a mixed bag that. The three in front look like overage staff officers, fourth one back, the younger bloke, appears to have a Luftwaffe eagle on his tunic. He's likely an officer as well since he's smoking and no NCO with half a brain is going to light up and have to share his smokes with officers - even his own.

Going by what I thought are tresses. Good point, but at that moment I think for them the game is over, so new rules may apply. At a moment like that I'm sure they can see what kind of a leader they are, or were!

Casablanca, on November 18, 1942.
Original caption: Under the watchful eyes of U.S. troops bearing bayonets, members of the Italo-German armistice commission in Morocco are rounded up to be taken to Fedala, north of Casablanca, on November 18, 1942. Commission members were surprised in American landing move. #

Question. Would the length of the bayonets not be a clue as to earlier in the War rather than later?
