To the German soldiers arriving along the banks of the Volga it seemed
that victory was beckoning. In these photographs thousands of Soviet
soldiers have been encircled, captured, and marched to hastily erected
POW camps, mere barbed wire enclosures without any form of shelter or
sanitary facilities.
Little food and water was provided. The fate of these Red soldiers was
sealed. Virtually all of them would be worked or starved to death if
not outright executed.
