Although this photo was posted above, no detailed information
was provided. I found it two weeks ago at the NARA and
scanned it.

It features Medic James L. Parks of the 133rd
Infantry Regiment carrying a wounded German through the streets of
S. Angelo d'Alife, Italy, on 23 October 1943.

If anyone wants a high-res copy, just let me know.

By the way, the 34th Infantry Division is holding its reunion
next week in Carlisle, PA.

This is just a painting by the renowned artist James H. Kitchens, but the situation he depicts is real:

On June 26, 1943, P-47C Thunderbolts from the 56th Fighter Group's 61st, 62nd, and 63rd Fighter Squadrons were launched from AAF Station Boxted to escort an Eighth AF operation against Villacoublay, France. The mission was going smoothly - until the American formation was bounced by Fw 190s from JG 2 and JG 26, which proceeded to shoot down five Thunderbolts and damage seven others, two beyond repair.
One of the damaged P-47s, ("Half Pint") was piloted by Lt. Robert S. Johnson. A Fw 190 caught him in his sights and riddled his airplane with machine gun bullets and 20mm cannon shells. One 20mm round exploded in the cockpit, another passed through the rear part of the sliding hood, jamming it closed. Wounded and half-blind, Johnson could not bail out and had to limp home to survive. Things looked hopeful until another Fw 190 latched onto the crippled American's tail. The German mercilessly hammered the helpless Thunderbolt, exhausting his machine gun ammunition without result. The astonished and no-doubt bewildered German pilot eased alongside, studied his would-be victim, saluted, and turned away, leaving the shaken American to nurse his flying sieve back to Boxted.

This might help
