Arrival of French POWs at Heuberg

Notes:

Newly arrived French prisoners march into the prison camp at Heuberg carrying their worldly belongings over their shoulders, under Landsturm guard. Most men arrived in prison camps with few comforts and while the Germans provided food and clothing, most POW's relied on parcels from home to support them in captivity.
