Summary
Russian troops and tanks in and around the Polish city of Lublin. The liberating army drive through the streets firing at the retreating Germans. Shots taken in and around Lublin Castle which was converted into a prison and where prisoners underwent the most ghastly tortures. Relatives and loved ones weep in the courtyard of the castle at the bodies of machine-gunned prisoners. Crowds gather at burial service for murdered victims. The Soviet tanks roll into the city and the crowds cheer and wave. Polish partisans also march through the streets.
