Population of Passau forced to walk past corpses
German population of Passau (Bavaria) has to walk past 800 corpses of Russian slave laborers murdered by S.S. forces. Thousands of Russian and other prisoners of war who were being held in the region were shot; some thrown into the Inn River to drown. In nearby Pocking-Waldstadt, Nazis murdered Jews held in a concentration subcamp, dumping some bodies from moving trains and placing others in hastily dug graves. Photo: Signal Corps. Germany.
