Bodies in at Gardelegen, Germany

In a large barn on the edge of Gardelegen, Germany, at least 150 Russian, French, Polish, and Jewish political prisoners of Nazi Germany were burned to death by S. S. Troops. The atrocity was exposed when the 9th U S Army captured the Gardelegen area before the Germans had time to remove the evidence. Pictured here are a few victims who made a last struggle for life.
