Color photo of the Second World War: Soviet prisoners of war are disinfected in the German concentration camp Zeithain.
In September 1942, the concentration camp was closed, and the remaining prisoners of war (by that time more than 10 thousand) were transferred to the Leuven camp in Belgium, from where they were sent to the mines of Belgium and Northern France for forced labor – to extract coal. The photo is disinfected before transport to Belgium.
