Liberated POWs

**

A US Army MP from the 12th Armored Division tries to chat with three liberated Soviet prisoners of war in the German town of Baumholder. - Baumholder became a garrison town when the Wehrmacht built its barracks and troop drilling ground here. To do this, several thousand inhabitants were moved. Between 1941 and 1945, the troop drilling ground was the location of a prisoner-of-war camp for Soviet, Polish and other prisoners.
