Infirmary at Ludwigsburg

Notes:

German doctors and Belgian prisoners treat French and Belgian prisoners of war in the camp infirmary in Ludwigsburg. POW's arrived in camps recuperating from serious to light wounds and many became ill in captivity. The Germans provided extensive medical care, especially after epidemics broke out in several prison camps which resulted in Allied protests and neutral inspections.
