Slachtoffers van het Schwabmunchen - Kaufering IV concentratiekamp.

Slachtoffers van het Schwabmunchen - Kaufering IV concentratiekamp. Het originele bijschrift luidt: 'German burn 4,000 alive in Schwabmunchen horror camp. Naked, starved and half-burned bodies line the gutter of a roadway through Schwabmunchen, southwest of Munich, another Nazi horror camp uncovered by troops of the Seventh U.S. Army. The camp was discovered as the 12th Armored Division forged its way toward the Austrian border. As spearheads threatened the camp, the German guards found they could not get the prisoners away before the arrival of the advancing Americans. Rather than allow the internees to be liberated, the guards set fire to the crude huts in which the prisoners slept, burning them to death or shooting any who tried to escape. The laborers were all Jews of various nationalities. These photos were taken April 28, 1945, shortly after the camp was dicovered.'
