Can POWs Win the War?

Notes:

Fifteen-thousand Russian prisoners of war line up for a meal in Augustowo, in Russian Poland. The feeding and care of millions of Allied POW's placed a tremendous strain on the German war economy. The author suggests that the burden of feeding millions of Entente POWs would help the Allies win the war.
