Life in the prison camp

1. "These are tents used by Serbian and Italian prisoners who came to the camp in early 1945. The camp had become very crowded by now with nearly 5000 prisoners crammed into the camp. The picture is taken along the southern side of the camp behind the single floor buildings (Blocks F, G, H, J) which were originally built in early 1939 as garages for German tanks. Kennels for the guard dogs would be found further along this fence – just before the guards tower which can be seen in the distance (located at the south east corner of the camp). Although it was a Polish officers POW camp, in April 1945 as the Allies were closing in, other prisoners were relocated here including 1 Dutch officer, 2 French officers, 13 English officers, 1 Italian officer, 59 English regular soldiers, 26 Belgium regular soldiers, 9 Italian regular soldiers, 193 French regular soldiers."
