Official matte-finish 8 x 10 US Army photo of Bradley standing in the rubble at Bastogne with Eisenhower and Patton near the end of World War II, signed in black felt tip, “Omar N. Bradley.” Reverse bears a typed US Army caption. In fine condition, with a few unobtrusive creases. The Siege of Bastogne took place at the end of December, 1944, during which the American forces—though surrounded by German troops, outnumbered five-to-one, and dangerously undersupplied—held their original positions in the besieged Belgian town and repulsed infantry assaults, capturing almost a hundred German soldiers before elements of Patton’s Third Army finally arrived to relieve them. An unusual image of the admired US generals amidst the devastation of war. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
