Allied POW in a Cage for Punishment

Allied POW in a Cage for Punishment

Description:

For punishment for breaking camp rules, prison authorities would force prisoners into iron cages which were not large enough for the POW to stand up or to lie down. The prisoners' limbs were always cramped and many thought that this was the most severe form of punishment the Germans employed short of capital punishment.
