The image is a black and white photograph of a dead soldier lying on the ground in front of a brick wall. The soldier is lying on his back with his head resting on his hands and his body stretched out to the sides. He is wearing a military uniform with a helmet and a rifle slung over his shoulder. There are several pieces of debris scattered around him, including a helmet, a rifle, and a grenade launcher. The photograph appears to be from the early 20th century. The caption at the bottom of the image reads "Die ersten im Straßenkampf in Estätres gefallenen Amerikaner" which translates to "The death of the American soldier in the Battle of the Bulge."
