Margaret Bourke-White's reportage from the front lines of German retreat in early April 1945 were included in the 16 April 1945 issue of LIFE Magazine. Under the title "Foreigners and Germans Loot Stalled Nazi Train", three of Bourke-White's images from Darmstadt were included in a double-page spread across pp.30-31. The present image, though passed by the censor, was not included in the spread, with the editors opting for this particular view of the train track void of any people.
