    Hello all,

    I picked up this photo today, a group of POWs, i believe. I am seeking your help in identifying the nationality of these
    troops, and if possible a translation of the inscription on the back side. As always i look forward to your input.

    Take care, Mart

    Reverse appears to read "Polnische Gefangene..." which is indeed "Polish prisoners"

    Clicking on the image with the road sign does enlarge the picture. Unfortunately, it is not so clear.

    It says:

    "Polnische Gefangene werden abgeführt" = "Polish prisoners are marched off"
