Poland Auschwitz (#2304)

Poland Auschwitz (#2304)
An aerial photo taken by the Allies in 1944 showing rail connections used to bring prisoners to the camps. 'A' is the main rail yard for the city of Auschwitz, which was used early in the process. The 'B' and 'B1' sidings (lower portion) were used for bringing prisoners to Auschwitz (which had been a Polish Army garrison). 'C' and 'D' were sidings specifically built to bring prisoners to the much larger Birkenau section.

There is a former U.S. Army armory south of Chicago that the forest service has taken over and tried to convert back to restored prairie where Robin and I go often. Aerial photos of that property from army days look a lot like this. That property is huge. I had no idea Auschwitz was so large.
