File talk:Sonderkommando.PNG

phony picture ?
I challenge the veracity of the decription of this photo. Just a cursory look at the clothing and boots makes clear that this photo is not a photo of Sonderkommando - certainly NOT during the war! The prisoners wore striped prisoner outfits and DID NOT have nice boots! 216.153.214.89 (talk) 01:58, 13 March 2009 (UTC)


 * well, unknown user, do more research. not all prisoners had the striped uniforms.  see archive footage of the liberation of dachau camp.  mostly civilian clothing there.  that's just one example.   even some long-term prisoner workers had just a kapo hat or an armband upon and otherwise civilian outfit.   those are some fine boots, but these labors could be knee deep in body-fluid slurry down in those mass grave trenches.   considering the small numbers of personnel in sonderkommando 1005 units like the one presumably pictured, it wouldn't have been hard for the guards to provide adequate footwear to the men cleaning up the evidence for them.    maybe you should contact the US holocaust memorial museum yourself and ask more about their photo since it bothers you so.
