Turks, Frenchmen, Jews, Englishmen, Belgians, Indians, and Russians, all in prison camp for opposing German "Kultur", Undated
Scope and Contents
W. C. A. 146. Turks, Frenchmen, Jews, Englishmen, Belgians, Indians, and Russians, all in prison camp. This highly interesting photograph, taken in one of the German detention camps in Central Germany shows prisoners from almost every nation and race that is set against the Germans. From reports that leak out of Germany it appears that they Allies do not get along as well in prison as they do on the field of battle. In one of the camps, the Frenchmen protested to the commander in charge that they could not stand the habits of their Russian brethren in arms. The German commander sent back the reply that "If they are good enough to fight with, they must be good enough to live with." The picpture here shows in the front row (from left to right)a turk, two Frenchmen, a Russian Jew, an English sergeant, a Belgian infantryman, a French Turco, a Hindu and a Russian Cossack.
