German and Hungarian soldier corpses,after the breakout.Budapest 1945 February 

Chaos

This one is from my grandfather's private &quot;Russia album&quot; which means it has never been published before, I'd like to share it with you guys anyway. The pictures shows the burnt and swollen body of a Soviet artilleryman, even the clothes have been burnt completely. The light howitzer in the back was destroyed, the tire on the left also burned. At the right edge of the picture you can see parts of a notorious Soviet Katyusha rocket launcher (German nickname: Stalinorgel = Stalin's organ). (ftg)

Dead Soviet artillerist

This disturbing photos shows the body of 18-year-old ethnic german girl Gertrud Rohnde, daughter of the peasant  Rohde of Langenau. On september 3rd 1939 several thousand people of the german minority were slaughtered by a mob consisting polish civilians and militaries. Just in the city of Bromberg between 1200 and 1500 germans inc. women, children and old people were murdered beastly. On the picture you can see that two of the fingers of the girl's right hand have been chopped off for the poles might be able to steal her rings.
