Notes
This book is promoted as the first to compare the "official" German view of the treatment of POWs, to the grim reality as experienced by the prisoners themselves. The Germans had published a book called "1915", which purported to portray them as civilised people who were destined to win the war and who would treat their prisoners with care and compassion. The book is crammed with very interesting images.
