Příjezd sovětských válečných zajatců do Horního Litvínova. Fotoalbum jako zdroj dokumentace nucených prací
The photo album as a source of documentation of forced labour

Summary/Abstract: On Thursday 9 July 1942 the first transport of Soviet POWs arrived at Horní Litvínov (Oberleutensdorf). In the archive of the petrochemical company Sudetenländische Treibstoffwerke AG (STW), which is held at the State District Archive in Litoměřice, specifically at its centre in Most, and contains among other items an extensive photography collection of over 32,000 photographs, a photo album has been preserved that documents the arrival of that transport. The STW photo archive, and in particular the album referred to, are extraordinarily valuable historical sources that do far more than depict forced labour.
