Original Caption: "At the German concentration camp in Wobbelin, many inmates were dying of starvation when troops of the U.S. Ninth Army captured the camp. Here an inmate thinks he has been forgotten when some have been removed to hospitals, but he will leave as soon as the worst cases have gone.
82nd Airborne Div., Wobblin, Germany. 5/4/45."
