Murdered men on the edges of the sidewalks. Location: the right side of Pobeda ("Victory") Avenue. Ukrainian passers-by are going to "Yevbaz" (Yevreyskiy / Jevrejskiz (Jewish) bazaar (market).
Ukrainian passers-by are going to "Yevbaz". Location: the right side of Pobeda ("Victory") Avenue. After the occupation the markets were the only place where people could buy or exchange their things for food. People went by foot because trams were not operating, and only Germans had cars.
The murdered men are probably Jews who did not arrive on 29 September at the designated place, as ordered, and were shot. Location: the right side of Pobeda ("Victory") Avenue. After having taken these photos Hähle went to Babi Yar.
When Hähle came to Babi Yar he entered the ravine, and was overwhelmed by the huge quantities of belongings of the murdered Jews. He seized the opportunity, and took some photos of the possessions of the victims.
Possessions of the victims. German soldiers are searching the clothes for valuables.
POWs in the ravine. They are members of former Soviet elite units, judging by the clothes. The Germans needed physically fit men for this task.
According to the interrogation protocol of the former POW B. V. Sokolov he confirmed that in October 1941 about 300 POWs were taken to the ravine to bury the bodies. In the photo they level the earth over the mass graves. The German soldier (foreground) is showing Ukrainian women the workers in the ravine.
This photo was taken at the corner of Kerosinnaja and Lagernaja Streets, near the "Zenit" Stadium. Ukrainan women (in all probability) tried to learn about the fate of their relatives, who possibly resided in nearby barracks.
This photo was taken not far from Yevbaz. The murdered men are probably POWs, judging by their haircut and their exhausted frames.
Among other things Hähle took a few photos of important buildings and scenery. This is the western facade of the Kievo-Pecherskij Monastery (Lavra). It was blown up later, on 3 November 1941.
1941-10 Russian POWs
Empty streets, here and there remaining barricades. Courageous inhabitants are to be seen. The city is ruled by the Germans. This photo was taken at the corner of Kominterna and Zhilyanskaja Streets.
St. Andrew's Church, as if nothing has happened at the northwestern outskirts of the city...
Among other things Hähle took a few photos of important buildings and sceneries. This is the building of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine, on Mikhajlovskaja Square.
This photo shows a destroyed bridge over the Dnieper river. It is double exposed because of broken perforation of the film, and the last photo of this roll.
