Title: Unidentified war casualties on hillside in Germany
Photographer : Gaskell Warren
Date Created: 1945
Abstract: A photograph of unidentified casualties on a hillside in Germany. The dead are dressed in civilian clothing and barbed wire can be viewed in the background. The image may be related to the Buchenwald concentration camp which was located in Weimar, Germany. Many images owned by American soldiers were stolen from Nazis after the capture of their camps or their homes, and this image may have been taken at an earlier time and then appropriated by Gaskell Warren after his division took hold of Berchtesgaden, Germany where many Nazi had homes.
