AI notes: In 1945, following the defeat of Nazi Germany, a group of high-ranking Nazi leaders was held at Mondorf-les-Bains, Luxembourg, in the Palace Hotel, which had been converted by the Allies into Camp Ashcan, a high-security detention and interrogation center. The most famous photograph from this period shows figures such as Hermann Göring, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Karl Dönitz, and Walter Funk gathered in front of the hotel, under the supervision of U.S. Army personnel led by Colonel Burton C. Andrus. This facility operated from May to August 1945, serving as a temporary holding site before the detainees were transported to Nuremberg for trial. The photograph, often referred to as the “Class of ’45,” captures the tension and defeat of the once-powerful Nazi hierarchy, their formal military attire contrasting sharply with their captivity, and has since become an iconic visual record of the immediate postwar period and the Allies’ efforts to bring prominent war criminals to justice.
