80 Jahre Kriegsende in Schnaittenbach und Kemnath am Buchberg

Das Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs in Schnaittenbach und Kemnath am Buchberg (Landkreis Amberg-Sulzbach): Während die Amerikaner die eine Ortschaft fast vollständig zerstörten, blieb die andere unversehrt. Ein Blick zurück.

Rund 15 Jahre brauchte es, um die Gebäude in Kemnath am Buchberg wieder aufzubauen. Das Foto stammt aus dem Buch "Sie kommen! Die letzten Kriegstage in der Oberpfalz 1945".
