A very tight shot of a location, only a few hundred meters wide and tall. Shadows pointing NNW actual. Layout resembles a cemetary. Probably a memorial location of a much larger engagement area, now too urbanized to show with a Google Map image without giving away location info.

It was my honor to fix the job in those 3 hours :P ehehehehe

well lets get down to bussines. Looking at it i would say I'm looking at something of a POW camp or some sort of labour/death camp. or maybe a site where a large amount of civilians where shot. I had a look at the ones i'm familiar with.

Camp Vught
Camp Amersfoort
Camp Westerbork

Woestehoeve
Waalsdorpervlakte
Putten
Malmedy

But these aren't even close to this one... Im not that familiar with wat happened in other countries.

Cheers Buck

This is Sachsenhausen,

the 2 paralel placed buildings are Prisson barracks. the building a bit more to the right should be the former prison with some hanging posts nearby.

This camp was situated about 35 clicks north of Berlin near the town of Oranienburg. It was build in 1936 by its own prisoners.

About 200.000 people have been imprisoned in this camp between 1939 and 1945. of them 35.000 parished. It mainly housed Political opponents of Hitlers Regime, Jews, Homoseksuals, Jehova's Witnesses Gipsys and Pow. So it was a pretty much 'alround' camp. Mind you this camp wasn't a death camp. Most of the people who died there died of torture, execution, Starvation and sickness.

"Small Camp" in Sachschenhausen. Barracks 38-39 and the prision. (http://www.scrapbookpages.com/Sachsenhausen/MemorialSite/JewishMuseum.html)
After the Jewish protest, the two former Jewish barracks, blocks 38 and 39, were reconstructed in 1961 on the spot where they had formerly stood in the area called the "Small Camp." This was the camp that was set up to the right of the gate house in 1938 when 6,000 Jews were sent to Sachsenhausen after a total of 30,000 Jewish men were rounded up on November 9 and 10, 1938 "in order to protect them from the wrath of the German people," according to Rudolf Höss who was an adjutant at the camp. This action occurred during the pogrom known as Kristallnacht (Crystal Night) because the glass was broken in all the Jewish shop windows. The Jews were held in "protective custody" until their families could arrange visas for them to leave Germany. The last of the Jews in Sachsenhausen were deported to the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp in Poland in October 1942. The Jewish museum brochure notes that "Between 1942 and 1945 the National Socialists perpetrated the genocide of European Jews. During this time there were only few Jewish prisoners left in Sachsenhausen."

Impossible to everyone, but here is BUCK, againg. Great!!
