A day before Walter Hollnagel arrived as a photographer of the RVM (Reichsverkehrsministerium) in Italy, Rome was occupied by the Allies on 4 June 1944 without resistance. We can only speculate then about the propagandistic success of Hollnagel mission there. The image that he made of the withdrawing troops near the train station of Ancona on the Adriatic today are described as a unique historical document in color that we want to show here, although sometimes lack of direct rail reference
