German civilians queue for rations in embattled town. Civilians of Bad Godesberg, Germany, line up at a bakery, although troops of the First U.S. Army and Nazi soldiers are engaged in combat only a few blocks away. The town, one mile west of the Rhine, was captured March 9, 1945, when the enemy was cleared from the west bank of the river along a 12-mile stretch from Bonn to Remagen.
