Description
English: The bodies of prisoners lie stacked in a shed in the Ohrdruf concentration camp. The original caption reads "These emaciated, nude corpses, stacked like cord-wood in a bin at the concentration camp at Goth, Germany, tell their own story of the sadism and brutality of the Nazi gaolers. They are strewn with quicklime in a haphazard attempt to destroy evidence of the crimes. General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Allied Commander, viewed the Gotha horrors during a tour of the Third Army Front."
Deutsch: Die Leichen von Gefangenen liegen in einem Schuppen im KZ Ohrdruf gestapelt. Der ursprüngliche Titel lautet "diese ausgemergelten, nackten, wie Brennholz gestapelten Leichen in einem Schuppen im KZ Goth, Deutschland, erzählen ihre eigene Geschichte des Sadismus und der Brutalität der Nazi-Wärter gestapelt. Sie wurden mit ungelöschtem Kalk bestreut, um die Beweise für die Verbrechen zu vernichten. General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Oberster Alliierter Befehlshaber betrachtet die Schrecken während einer Tour an der Front der Dritten Armee."
