| Keywords: outdoor 80-G-43836: Mixed landing forces of U.S. Coast Guard and Army Commandos, members of the U.S. Navy’s Greenland’s Patrol Expeditionary Force, search the rugged terrain of Greenland for remnants of a German Naval and Military force which were operating a radio base there. One prisoner was captured, others had evacuated. Shown: Coast Guardsmen and soldiers charge in skirmish formation toward the German Army’s radio station and base beyond the hills. The base was discovered by a force of Free Danish hunters, operating under the American Army, on an island off the coast of Greenland. It represented the first attempt by the Germans to establish a foothold in the Western Hemisphere since the start of the war. Captain Carl C. Von Pavlsen, USCG, is seen at the left.
