Original Caption: "Children of former save laborers of Germany wave goodbye from a train leaving Braunschweig, Germany, at the start of their homeward journey May 13, 1945. Since the defeat of Germany, refugees from France, Belgium, Poland, Russia, and Holland have been repatriated from Branschweig at the rate of approximately 1,200 a day. Travel facilities to their homelands are being arranged by Allied officials and liaison workers. Braunschweig, 120 miles west of Berlin, formerly was a large manufacturing center for Nazi war supplies."
