Polish Internees at Havelberg

Polish Internees at Havelberg

Description:

A large group of Polish civilians and legionnaires pose for a photograph in the prison compound at Havelberg. From the German perspective, these men constituted a threat to the new Polish Regency under Austro-German control because they refused to acknowledge the legitimacy of the new regime in Warsaw in 1916.
