Re: Captured
Great pics Paul. Where do you get them all? One thing I will point out is that is several of the threads you have pictures repeated twice and a few times three times in the same thread.
Not sure if anyone noticed but a few of those columns had female soldiers in them.
One of the reasons that they didn't try to escape was that Stalin made it a military crime (not sure how else to say it) to return to a unit with out a weapon. They would be charged with desertion even if they were escaped prisoners and could be shot on the spot. This was also a problem with MIA soldiers, they were all classified as deserters.
