STALAG XVII ARCHIVE
Group of 17 documents, about 25pp. total, most 1942, essentially pre-printed and carbon copies of notices, orders and directives emanating from the camp administration. A variety of topics are addressed, including guidelines on how this "forced labor" as they are called, should be handled by farmers and others using the prisoners, reduction of rations issued to the prisoners, with different regulations concerning Russian prisoners (per week: meat 250g. bread 2.6 kilos, potatos 3 kilos, etc.), registration of laborers, requirements of those using that labor, air raid regulations, etc. Of course, the use of P.O.W.s for labor was generally contrary to the Geneva Convention.
