II. WK - Volksdeutsche refugees 1944

Image text:

The motif from National Socialist propaganda shows soldiers of the German Wehrmacht with ethnic German families retreating from the Red Army in the Balkans, taken in November 1944. The National Socialist news coverage writes on the back of the picture on November 10, 1944: "On the run from the Bolshevists. Peasants of German origin from Batschka and Banat leave their homeland threatened by the Soviets and pack their belongings. German grenadiers help them in any way they can and provide protection for the trek as it moves toward Germany. Mother and child are in good guard."
