The prisoners said they were hungry
and penniless.
When the Americans arrived at the
camp. according to this account, the
Germans removed all their clothes.
They were particularly anxious to
have the Americans shoes. They told
the prisoners they should not wear
expensive shoes and clothes while
working.
A consul. the Russian was mot sure
whether he was a Swiss or Spaniard.
visited the camp. Complaint was made
to him by the Americans and their
clothes were returned, but as the
consul seldom visited the camp the
Germans had opportunity to practice
many injustices.
The Russian said eight Americans
captured several months ago reached
the camp at midday and asked for
bread. They were told bread was dis
tributed only in the morning. They
were placed in hut with Russians
after standing In q square where Ger
mans were given an opportunity to In
suit them
The hut, the Russian said, was un-
fit for habitation. Some of the Amer
leans became i'll. Two were In hos
pital and had an opportunity there to
talk with the Russian.
