German prisoners head for internment in England.

German prisoners head for internment in England. A German prisoner shaves his comrade as another looks on aboard an American LST (landing ship-tank) vessel transporting the Germans from France across the Channel to England for internment at prisoner-of-war camps. The Germans were captured by American troops during the Battle of Normandy. Approximately one month after the start, on June 6, 1944, of the new offensive in northern France, Allied forces had taken 54,000 German prisoners. Similar successes by Allied forces in Italy and the Russians on the eastern front are bringing Hitler's defeat to the final stages.
