A week???s menu at Giessen Camp. RARE GERMAN propaganda images showing Allied WW1 prisoners being treated well in prison camps have been unveiled in a new book. One seemingly heart-warming and previously unpublished photograph shows a wounded British flyer being helped off the field by two German men, whilst another shows British prisoners locked behind tall metal gates somewhere in France. Other images, which the Germans hoped would encourage Allied soldiers to surrender and therefore help them win the Great War of 1914, show men at the Parchim Camp unveiling a memorial to those who wouldn???t be returning home and one picture even shows young Russian child soldiers posing for the camera with hands placed proudly on their chests. While much has been written about WW2 POWs, little attention has gone to POWs of WW1. The collection of images documenting the capture, travel to the camps and life and death in the camps have been revealed in the book, Images of War: Allied POWs in German Hands 1914-1918, Rare Photographs From Wartime Archives by David Bilton and is published by Pen & Sword.
