Civilian Internment Camp at Traunstein

Notes:

A large group of civilian internees stand in the prison compound at Traunstein in Bavaria. The Germans rounded up enemy aliens early in the war and incarcerated them in civilian internment camps. As portrayed in this picture, most of the inmates at Traunstein were males and the Germans sought to prevent their return to their homes in Allied countries where they could take up arms against Germany.
