Description

Exterior view of damage at power plant at Fouhsin, Manchuria. Heavy cast iron turbine parts have been loaded on a flat car in the powerhouse yard. These parts were probably left by Soviets during occupation because they would not clear a tunnel. They were very crudely loaded and could not have traveled far. The guys are strands of galvanized wire, not cables. Photograph taken during the U.S. Reparations Mission. Edwin Pauley was the U.S. Ambassador on the Allied Reparations Committee from 1945-47 (the committee that assessed the reparations the Axis powers could afford to pay the victors).
