The Nazi Propaganda image shows two children killed in the Nemmersdorf massacre in Nemmersdorf (today Mayakovskoye, Russia) in October 1944. The Nemmersdorf massacre took place on 21 October 1944 in the then German village Nemmersdorf. According to current findings up to 30 people were killed as the Red Army advanced into the town. Even today the circumstances are still unclear. A translation of the German original Nazi news report on the back of the image reads: Soviet crimes in re-liberated East Prussian towns! As the report by the Supreme Command of the Armed Forces (OKW) says, German counterattacks have succeeded in driving Soviet forces back near Goldap and the area of Gumbinnen. In the re-liberated areas, German soldiers came across horrific traces of Soviet terror and murderous behavior. Two children who had sought refuge into a tunnel were shot as the Soviets retreated.
