Remembered Today:

The German Red Cross Visiting Prison Camps

Recommended Posts

I'm writing a feature article on the German Red Cross activities in regard to their visits to Imperial Russian POW camps located near Perm, Omsk, and Yekaterinburg in June or July, 1918. They would have come by train with a number of Imperial German Army officers.

Respectfully Submitted,

Robert A. Lynn
