The motif from National Socialist propaganda shows corpses and rubble in the destroyed town of Goldap in East Prussia after the brief recapture by the German Wehrmacht in the fight against the Red Army, taken in November 1944. On the back of the picture, the National Socialist reporting writes on 23.11.1944: "The street scene of Goldap. After the Bolsheviks, who had entered the East Prussian border town of Goldap only for a short time, had been thrown out again, our soldiers were presented with a shocking picture: dead Bolsheviks, equipment of all kinds thrown away on the run, heavy weapons shot up, etc. lay scattered far and wide in the streets."
