I love that picture ;-) Guys on the right are wearing about $500 worth of gear at today's prices, guys on the left about $50k? Strutting like peacocks... man they sure had style!
Fantastic story, first time i have heard of such a prisoner exchange in WW2 with evidential photographs.Cheers,Paul
See the guy in the back taking pics, I take it he's in a Propaganda Kompanie uniform? It looks black.
By the shape of the guys peaked cap & insignia, i reckon Kriegsmarine ,Cheers,Paul
The pow was from the 301st infantry of the 94th Division. As they didn't arrive in the ETO until September 44 they had missed d day already.
Even just peeing on an electric fence is unpleasant...
A very interesting story!
Thanks
