Red Cross Page 26
Red Cross parcels would be delivered by road transport or train, unloaded by the prisoners and stored by the Germans for distribution within the camps. Acts of disobedience and sabotage could result in parcels being held back as punishment. Also held back could be parcels from home delivered by the YMCA.
Many copies of the above photos showing prisoners unloading Red Cross parcels exist and have been seen by most researchers. Photos courtesy D Hobbs. J Crouch.
Pages from D Hobbs diary, recording parcels received during 1942 and Red Cross parcels during 1944.
