"In the final days of World War II, photographer David Scherman captured a remarkable series of images in Siegsdorf, Bavaria, as American forces pushed through southern Germany. The photos showed American and German officers involved in the surrender process, along with huge columns of German prisoners being marched toward Salzburg after laying down their arms. More than eight decades later, a historian returned to the village and tracked down the exact locations where the photographs had been taken, including a distinctive building that had served as a butcher shop in 1945 and was still operating as one in 2026. By comparing wartime and prewar photographs with the modern landscape, he was able to recreate views that had remained surprisingly recognizable 81 years later."
