Description
From left to right (back seat): President Harry S. Truman, Secretary of State James Byrnes, and Admiral William Leahy ride in a car past the ruins of the Reichschancellery in Berlin, Germany, where Hitler often spoke from the gallery. They are driving through Berlin, surveying the damage from Allied bombing. Unidentified Secret Service men and others surround the automobile. Standing talking to President Truman is probably Harry Vaughan. Others in the background are unidentified.
