              Excellent photo taken in Mulsanne POW Camp...in every photo I have seen of that camp it appears that many of the POW's were allowed to keep and wear their awards.

                Yes that's true but the awards are always denazified, just as the formlessness.

                    Raphael,

                    Because one of my special areas in photo collecting are POW photos. Many of the early POW's wearing uniforms and decorations were captured in Afrika and spread out in Camps throughout America & Canada. Later POW photos shows them wearing Allied uniforms dyed darker colors and quite a few marked with PW or PG.

                        Hi Bill. I found some info you might think was interesting about Colonel Johann Georg Goebel (the press photo you shared with the captured WSS-Jager). I know it was a while back, but It gives some background info, and a relic that is most interesting bearing his name.

                        Hope you enjoy it.

                          I've posted quite a few Mulsanne portraits and I don't think many of them were denazified. I also don't think the french were as strict in Mulsanne as the U.S. administered camps.
