German prisoner enjoys U.S. Army rations. A German soldier, captured during Allied Fifth Army patrol action in the Anzio area of Western Italy, enjoys a can of U.S. Army field ratons while waiting to be transported to a prisoner-of-war depot on Southern Italy. From their beachhead position at Anzio, Fifth Army forces lashed out against the Germans twelve days after the start of the new Allied offensive in Italy which began on May 11, 1944. Other units of the Fifth Army continued hammering at enemy positions in Central Italy while the British Eight Army kept up its strong attack against the Adolf Hitler Line of German fortifications.
