POWs in the Compound at Goerlitz

Notes:

Allied prisoners of war, primarily Russian and French troops, line up in the prison compound at Goerlitz. Most of the prisoners wear white identification badges on their left breast pockets. Behind the men are a decorative landscaped garden in the center and wooden barracks and prison buildings around the perimeter. In the extreme background is the city of Goerlitz, which includes a church with twin spires.
