Mail Censors at Friedrichsfeld

Notes:

German non-commissioned officers and translators censor incoming and outgoing Allied mail in Friedrichsfeld. This work took a considerable amount of man hours, not only to read letters, but also to administer. While prisoners could receive an unlimited amount of mail, they were restricted to a certain number of letters and post cards that they could send each month.
