Above is a web link to the original slide show from Der Spiegel magazine containing dramatic pictures of the Tsunami tragedy. The picture scrollbar is at the top of the page. "Weiter" means forward. "Zuruck" means back. "Bild" means picture. "Von" means of.

Please be advised that some of the pictures are very gruesome. The devastation is numbing.

Dear God, all those poor dead people. Pls look after their lost souls. Numbing doesn't cover it, C.

Like a war - almost like a tropical Stalingrad - the dead - white tourists in their skimpy swimming suits and locals in their traditional clothing, lined up next to each other. Death had no favorites.

Unbelievable!

Thank you for posting this.

Heaven forbid that something as trivial as a tsumani and tens of thousands of dead bodies interrupt one's parasailing experience.

I NEVER read Der Spiegel here in Germany. It is the consistently most left wing mag in Germany, and responsible for brainwashing the chattering class here for the last 40 years. They kept praising the DDR and communism up to it's collapse, then did an about face and started looking at the mess left over. They are prime Bush bashers, and pro gay, pro Muslim etc. They are the "intellectual" propaganda machine for the socialists and greens.
Der Spiegel is worse than the NYT.
