Gardelegen Massacre at Isenschnibbe Barn, April 13, 1945
On April 13, 1945, SS guards and local auxiliaries locked more than 1,000 prisoners inside a brick barn on the Isenschnibbe estate outside Gardelegen, Germany. Gasoline-soaked straw was set alight, and 1,016 prisoners were found dead in the barn and nearby trenches. The prisoners had been evacuated from Mittelbau-Dora and its subcamps and from a Neuengamme subcamp as Allied forces advanced. The U.S. Army's 102nd Infantry Division discovered the site on April 15. Six days later, between 200 and 300 Gardelegen townsmen were made to exhume 586 bodies from the trenches and remove another 430 from the barn for burial in individual graves. A memorial ceremony was held on April 25. Photographs show the barn and its interior, bodies near its doors, wall openings, trenches, mass graves, American soldiers inspecting the site, townspeople carrying out the burials and a Hungarian survivor demonstrating what happened. Later photographs show the cemetery, memorial signs and a photomural.  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  · |

View of the memorial sign for the victims of the Gardelegen Barn atrocity, originally erected at the burial site of the vicitims by the U.S. Army, which had later been moved by East German authorities to the local cemetery, where it served as a partial wall for a tool shed.
