The report is accompanied by 14 photographs of soldiers who were tor- tured because they would not divulge military secrets and soldiers who suf- fexed wounds from explosive—or duan-dam—bullets. There are also reproductions of two letters found on the bodies of dead Germans, in which the writers told of driving Russian prisoners before thern in a charge to lessen their own losses. Instances where wounded soldiers have ;net their death by being beat- en, stabbed, shot or neglected are given in the report. There were no baths in the camps," the report continues. The prisoners were obliged to remain un- washed and soon were covered 'with vermin. The food in the camps was describ- ed by -the soldiers as uneatable and nauseating. "These conditions of bad nourishment, combined with the cold and damp, produced epidemic cholera, hunger typhus, and the spot- ted form of that disease in many of the camps." The report says that a large num- ber of the cripples who were repat- riated were not wounded in warfare, but by Germans in the camps. "On the night of the 7th of May, in the camp of Witteberg, seven Rus- sian prisoners were shot for applying to the commandant for better food."
