U.S. military authorities prepare to hang Dr. Klaus Karl Schilling, 74, at Landsberg, Germany, on May 28, 1946. In a Dachau war crimes trial he was convicted of using 1,200 concentration camp prisoners for malaria experimentation. Thirty died directly from the inoculations and 300 to 400 died later from complications of the disease. His experiments, all with unwilling subjects, began in 1942.

A German grave near Chartres, France. The hat on the stick is German and has a bullet hole. To the right of the grave is a German motorcycle sidecar. The grave most likely belongs to a dispatch rider. If it had been a GI, there would have been flowers or a flag.
