But in every camp the German. guards were living handsomely, the German troops in the area had been well fed and there was ample food on the farms in the surrounding countryside, food which. could not be transported elsewhere because of the ruined transportation system, ' - ; In the four camps I visited the Germans purposely withheld food from the American prisoners. At each camp our prisoners told me in the presence of various general officers—Gen. Jacob Devers, Gen. George Patton, Lt. Gen. Alexander Patch—that if it had not been for| receiving occasional Red Cross packages they would have died. Russian prisoners interned with them received no such packages and the majority did die. -The loss of

and- ‘sometimes within the same camp. This was due to two factors:

construction. In some cases our men lived in old, ramshackle barracks; 4n other cases in good modern buildings. Second,- the ‘attitude of the commandant, which ranged from fairly reasonable to fanatical. Also there were naturally great differences in the way our prisoners stood their imprisonment, For instance, while our attack was still in progress at Hanau I talked with four American officers who had been prisoners. At the first moment | of their freedom I found to my| astonishment their minds were filled with the thought. that they were in disgrace with our soldiers and with the American people.
