Josefstal: Aerial Photograph 1942
The residents of Josefstal were attempting to survive in Siberia when this photograph was taken by the German Luftwaffe, after being deported in September of 1941. There are a couple other photos, including one taken in the winter showing the outline of the Church foundation.
Compare this with the Google Earth satellite photo, and you can still see where homes once lay, although the village itself is in ruins. Fascinating! You can also view this in Google Maps.
