The introduction of this 1915 publication focuses on the efforts of the German Reich during World War I to house and care for some 1.5 million prisoners of war. The text underlines the considerable economic and organizational efforts required to provide shelter, food, clothing, and medical care for these prisoners, while at the same time the country was engaged in a large-scale war effort. This publication serves as a visual and textual documentation of the conditions within German prisoner-of-war camps during World War I. Comprising approximately 250 authentic photographs, the book provides a comprehensive portrayal of the daily lives, treatment, and environments of Allied POWs held in Germany. The multilingual captions (German, French, English, Spanish, and Russian) indicate an intention to reach an international audience, possibly to counteract negative perceptions and to showcase Germany's adherence to humanitarian standards in the treatment of prisoners. The accompanying commentary by Prof. Dr. Alexander Backhaus offers insights into the German perspective on the management and care of POWs, reflecting the broader socio-political context of wartime propaganda and international diplomacy.
