The US troops’ entry into Munich on 29 April 1945 came from several directions — through the northern and western suburbs. On 29 April 1945, units of the US 7th Army — led by the legendary 42nd Infantry Division (“Rainbow”) and the 45th Infantry Division (“Thunderbird”) — reached Munich’s city center. The former Nazi “Capital of the Movement” was taken with almost no resistance. The image shows a typical scene of motorized and foot advance through Munich’s outer districts shortly before reaching the city center.
