- Flemming's caption typed on reverse side of image reads, in full: "On May 13, the day before US Forces took Gardelegen, over a thousand slave laborers were burned and shot to death here. They were herded into a barn, the floor of which was covered with gasoline-soaked straw. A grinning 16 yr. old SS boy struck the match. Victims who tried to smother the flames or escape the barn were shot- machine guns being emplaced around the building. Near Gardelegen, Ger -- 20 May 45"
