Official caption book story reads: 'Some 80 Polish civilians, mostly women and children, were removed by Germans for some reason from the camp in Neustadt in Holstein, by barge. Our aircraft unfortunately straffed the bargeand put it out of commission, but the SS troops opened up machine gun fire on the shipment, killing every occupant.'However photographs very likely show victims of sinking of the German liner SS Cap Arcona by the RAF on 3 May 1945 in the Bay of Neustad
