View of Belgrade, Yugoslavia, during a bombing raid by the German Luftwaffe, April 1941. The former Yugoslav capital became the seat of the German military government in Serbia after the occupation and division of Yugoslavia. Until the end of the war, there were five concentration camps in Belgrade. At the end of October 1941, around 1,000 to 1,500 Roma were deported to the Topovske Supe camp. Almost all of the men fell victim to shootings in Jakuba near Pančevo. In December 1941, the German commanders imprisoned 600 Roma with their children in the Sajmiste camp, about half of whom were later released.
The photographer was a member of a Wehrmacht propaganda company.
