Photograph. Photograph of an illustration of two armed Coast Guardsman interrogating a surrendering German in Greenland. Official caption on reverse: "100943(4). From: Public Relations Division / U.S. Coast Guard / Washington, D.C. Sketch made on the spot of a German prisoner, a Junior officer of hte German Naval forces who occupied 'a radio station in' Greenland, being questioned by a U.S. Coast Guard officer. This prisoner was taken in mopping up operations immediately following the occupation by the U.S. Coast Guard. The prisoner had been hiding from the U.S. forces in the rocky terrain of the island and had been without food or shelter for a number of days, all German stores having been seized by the Coast Guard. He is pictured smoking a cigarette given by a U.S. soldier and expressed surprise at the humane treatment given him by the Americans. Although a convicted Nazi, the prisoner expressed great fears as to the outcome of the war in respect to Germany, and it was obvious that recent Allied successes had him greatly worried. That he and the German forces with him had been routed out of the almost impregnable wilderness of Greenland was symptomatic of the Allied determination to seek out and destroy the Nazi menace wherever found.
