World War II Austrian prisoners return home from prison in Russia to Vienna

In Austria, cattle cars bring returnees, including former prisoners of war and others who endured harsh conditions in Russian prison camps, back to Vienna. Relatives anxiously search for loved ones who were kidnapped and imprisoned by the Soviets. The release of these prisoners is attributed to a recent amnesty by Soviet Premier Malenkov, following Austria's request for the inclusion of its nationals. Emotional reunions occur as families find their relatives, some of whom are too ill to move independently but are grateful to be back on their native soil.
