EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of liberation in the small Belgian town of St. Hubert during the final stages of the Battle of the Bulge in January 1945. American soldiers of the 87th Infantry Division, part of the United States Second Army, are seen entering the town after the German occupiers had withdrawn. The 87th Division, also known as the "Liberators," played a crucial role in halting the German offensive and pushing them back towards their own borders. The town of St. Hubert, located in the Ardennes region, had been under German occupation since the early days of the war. The arrival of the American soldiers marked the end of years of hardship and suffering for the local population. The image shows the soldiers, some with determined expressions, others with relief and even joy, as they make their way through the town's streets. The ruins of buildings and damaged vehicles in the background serve as a stark reminder of the destruction and devastation wrought by the war. This powerful photograph is a poignant testament to the courage and resilience of the soldiers who fought in the Battle of the Bulge and the people of St. Hubert who endured years of occupation. It is a significant historical record of a pivotal moment in World War II.
