Summary

Description
English: With a torn picture of his Führer beside his clenched fist, a dead major of the Volkssturm (erroneously described as a “Volkssturmgeneral”) Walter Doenicke (* July 27, 1899; † April 19, 1945) lies on the floor of city hall, Leipzig, Germany. He committed suicide rather than face U.S. Army troops who captured the city.
Deutsch: Mit einem zerrissenen Bild seines Führers neben der geballten Faust liegt der tote Volkssturm-Bataillonsführer (fälschlicherweise als „Volkssturmgeneral“ bezeichnet) Walter Dönicke (* 27. Juli 1899; † 19. April 1945) auf dem Fußboden des Neuen Rathauses in Leipzig. Er beging Selbstmord, statt sich den Truppen der US-Army zu stellen, die die Stadt eroberten.
