Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: "Two former Soviet POWs display the effects of camp imprisonment through their appearence. The man on the left is so thin and weak from starvation that he can hardly stand up by himself. The other's swollen face also indicates suffering from starvation. When the 75th Infantry Division of the U.S. Ninth Army liberated the camp at Hemer, about 22,000 prisoners were liberated. Approximately 9,000 prisoners were hospitalized for tuberculosis, dysentery, malnutrition and typhus fever." |
