The image is a black and white photograph of a house on fire. The house appears to be a two-story structure with a sloping roof and a chimney. The roof is covered in smoke and flames, and there is a large plume of smoke rising up into the air. The fire is burning on the right side of the image, and the house is on the left side. The photograph is taken from a low angle, looking up at the house. The sky is cloudy and the ground is wet, suggesting that it has recently rained. The text on the image reads "Wider alles Erwerten fielen die Rüssen bereits in den ersten Augustwochen in Ostreußen ein. Ihnen kam zugzeiten für die Erwendungen führer führungen, die Augsburg in August, Germany. Die 8. Augsburg, Germany, in August 1914. Die 18. August 1914 is the year of the fire, and it is a reminder of the aftermath of the German fire.
