Fuscher Toerl* on the Grossglockner High Alpine Road in Austria, referring to the small stone building at far right with the pyramid-shaped roof. I'm used to seeing old photos with the roadway covered in cobblestone but the above photo might be a construction site for surface improvements. Viewed looking north. Here's the location now-

* "Toerl" is the diminutive version of the German word Tor which means gate. Fusch is the village along the northern end of the road.

Any idea of the story on this picture? Looks like you have two German soldiers on the left and a German officer next to them. The rest are US soldiers. Everyone looks very cordial. German POWs? Surrender after the nazi's fell?

What a great photo! I'm surprised nobody has commented on it. It looks factory made, very clean lines. Any more information or other photos of this beetle?
