Operation "Knight's Move". A member of the 500th SS Parachute Battalion (second from the right) escorts two captured Partisan machine gunners at a run. Given the fact that they are in a fire-swept zone and in different uniforms, in a chaotic situation in which a bullet can easily come from a friendly side as well, it is no wonder that the escorting of prisoners looks more like racing this time (the German paratrooper has even outrun one of the captured Partisans).

Original caption: "Nestled in the impassable Bosnian mountains is the small industrial town of Drvar, the headquarters of the 'Marshal by the grace of Stalin', Josip Broz. Airborne troops and paratroopers captured all important positions in a surprising attack, in some cases against a very strong resistance. The picture shows the escorting of two bandits, who were driven out of their machine gun nest by a paratrooper, despite the fierce fire."

Operacija "Potez skakačem". Pripadnik 500. padobranskog SS-bataljona (drugi zdesna) trkom sprovodi dvojicu zarobljenih partizanskih mitraljezaca. S obzirom na to da se nalaze na brisanom prostoru i u različitim uniformama, u haotičnoj situaciji u kojoj metak lako može doći i sa prijateljske strane, nije nimalo čudno što sprovođenje zarobljenika ovog puta više liči na utrkivanje (nemački padobranac je čak prestigao jednog od zarobljenih partizana).

Originalni natpis: "U neprohodnim bosanskim planinama smestio se mali industrijski grad Drvar, sedište štaba 'maršala po milosti Staljinovoj', Josipa Broza. Vazdušnodesantne jedinice i padobranci zauzeli su u iznenađujućem napadu sve važne položaje, sa kojih je u pojedinim slučajevima pružan i veoma snažan otpor. Slika prikazuje sprovođenje dvojice bandita, koje je jedan padobranac, uprkos žestokoj vatri, isterao iz njihovog mitraljeskog gnezda."
